clearing the varnish cache

[Per Buer]

Hi Tim.

First of all, the version of Varnish you're running is pretty outdated.
3.0, which was released three years replaced it and since then we've have a
4.0 release. Please consider upgrading.

To answer your question. The easiest way to verify that it does what it
should do is to monitor the varnishlog. You'll just a huge number of cache
misses that naturally follows the purge of the cache. If you have no caches
behind Varnish you can just grep out the Age header and you'll see it will
initially be all zeroes.

Per.
