Migrating from Varnish

[Andrei]

To follow up on the purge implementation, I would like to avoid going
through the entire cache dir for a wildcard request, as the sites I have
stack up over 200k objects. I'm wondering if there would be a clean way of
taking a passive route, through which cache would be
invalidated/"refreshed" by subsequent requests. As in I send a purge
request for https://domain.com/.*, and subsequent requests for cached items
would then fetch the request from the backend, and update the cache. If
that makes any sense..
