I am using Varnish 3.0.2, expire 7.x-2.0-rc2 and varnish 7.x-1.0-beta2 to purge Varnish selectively.

While scanning the list of bans in varnish, I saw req.url ~ ^<front>$ which is clearly a problem, as the correct ban request would point to req.url ~ ^/$.

Below is a trivial patch that I applied to my exipre module to fix the issue.

While #2206761: Frontpage not expired works in most cases, calling drush xp-path FRONT still sends <front> to Varnish. drush_expire_internal_path() needs to take ExpireAPI::getFrontPageUrls() into account.
