Summary: Develop plan to deal with purging the varnish cache when (registry) information has changed
Description: varnish is set to cache objects for 2 days, but when the registry is modified the cache needs to be flushed, ideally selectively. An implementation could be bound to registry messaging listeners

This has been fixed by [~mdoering@gbif.org]. Correct me if I'm wrong [~mdoering@gbif.org] but the cache is cleared on any Registry change now.

Closing issue.

This was accomplished by configuring varnish to flush all registry data whenever a non GET is received:
