Purge multiple varnish servers

I'm trying to figure out a way to purge multiple Varnish servers.
Is it possible to have a master Varnish server that receives an URL
to purge and then passes the purge on to the other servers using
VCL.

I know this can be done passing each server a purge command,
but I would like just to communicate with the master Varnish and
let it take care of the rest of the purge logic.

I'm quite new in this area, so please bare with me.

Thanks in advance for any hints and advices.

If you have looked at that original varnish documents, you'll spot a box
labeled "cluster controller"

That was more or less what it was inteded for.

We havn't got around to writing it yet.
