Chapter 4 Configuring the Appliance 25
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 node-by-node basis. That is, you
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
Cluster name
Displays the hostname for the appliance. By
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.
