change ttl based on request url

[Viktor Villafuerte]

Hi Ryan,

you're mixing req.url with req.http.host

Also be aware of changes between Varnish 3 and 4. You didn't specified
which version you're using so I won't go into details. Those can be
found here

I believe the regex I have below should return true when the request url is “http://internal.my.com/any/thing <http://internal.my.com/any/thing>” and the 15s ttl should be set. I’ve tried just (req.url ~ “internal.my.com <http://internal.my.com/>”) as well because I read that it should match if any part of the request url. Help is appreciated! Thanks!

what you're matching here is req.http.host and so the statement never
returns true because it never matches

Also I don't like the way the regex looks. I have not tested this so
quite possibly it works but it's bit ugly. I'm sure simpler and cleaner
regex could/should be found.
