I would change this part to:

	if(req.request == "REPURGE") {
		if(client.ip ~ purge) {
			purge_url(req.url);
			error 200 "Repurged."
		}
	}

If you are sending a regexp purge, you will always get a miss, unless
you accidentally don't use any regexp special characters - which does
not make sence. In any case, I recommend using a different request for
normal purge and regexp purge, but supporting both in the VCL.
