The 'access' is access to the cache and the 'modification' means a
change to the cached file, either by replacing it with a new version
or updating the timestamp on it to show that the new version on the
server is the same.

It will purge individual URLs, but it will use the age specified for
the whole of the site. This is quicker because WWWOFFLE doesn't need
to know what the URL is of all of the cached pages, only the nsame of
the domain that they are in.

It is not the directory access or modification time that is important
it is the times of the individual files.

The order of the entries in the configuration file is important, but
it looks like you have got it the right way round. The first entry
that matches is the one that is used so you are correct to put the
specific ones before the default value.
Do you have the correct format for the sites that you want to keep for
a long time, for example:
Purge
{
<http://www.google.com:/*> age = 26w
age = 4w
}
If you are not using the 'use-url' option then you need to make sure
that the age that you want for the domain matches the top URL for that
domain. For example:
Purge
{
use-url = 0
<http://www.foo/bar.html> age = -1
age = 14d
}
Will purge all pages at 14 days, even the ones in the site www.foo
because the URL specified is not the top URL for that site.
