Setting general options
The following table describes the general configuration settings in the Intel
NetStructure Cache section.
Option | Description |
|
|
on/off | Enables or disables caching. When you disable |
| caching, you shut down all cache and proxy |
| services on a |
| can turn caching on or off only one node at a time. |
| You must disable cache services before |
| performing certain maintenance tasks. |
|
|
Intel NetStructure Cache | Displays the hostname for the appliance. By |
Cluster name | default, the name assumes a standalone node |
| and displays the hostname for the appliance as |
| the cluster name. If you are configuring an |
| appliance to be part of an existing management |
| cluster, you must enter the cache cluster name. |
Local Domain Expansion on/off
Enables or disables local domain expansion.
If you want the appliance to attempt to resolve unqualified hostnames by expanding to the local domain, enable expansion. For example, if a user makes a request to an unqualified host named host_x, and if the appliance’s local domain is y.com, the appliance will expand the hostname to host_x.y.com.
.com Domain Expansion on/off
Enables or disables .com domain expansion.
If you want the appliance to attempt to resolve unqualified hostnames by redirecting them to the expanded address prepended with www. and appended with .com, enable expansion. For example, if a user makes a request to inktomi, the appliance redirects the request to www.inktomi.com.
If local domain expansion is enabled, the appliance attempts local domain expansion before .com domain expansion; the appliance tries .com domain expansion only if local domain expansion fails.
