Darryl,

Thanks for your reply.  Yes we are using purge_url, but I was under the 
impression that since http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/changeset/3329, 
there wasn't a problem.  I've not succeeded in finding the threads you 
mentioned in your email.  Can you either point me at them, or let me 
know their conclusion?

Thanks,


Rob
