Assuming Varnish3

if (req.request == "PURGE") {
 if (!client.ip ~ purge) {
   error 405 "Not allowed.";
 }
 return(lookup);
}

This block is incorrect, it will trigger a 405 error when a client not allowed to purge attempts to do so, but there is nothing in there to actually purge if a valid client attempts to do so, instead it will return content from cache.

        if (req.request == "PURGE") {
                if (!client.ip ~ purge) {
                        error 405 "Not allowed.";
                }
                ban("req.url ~ "+req.url);
                error 200 "Purged";
        }

This block should do what you need it to do.
