Web Caching
Bypassing Cache Servers
Some Web sites require source IP address authentication for user access, therefore HTTP
requests for these sites cannot be redirected to the cache servers. To specify the sites for
which HTTP requests are not redirected to the cache servers, enter the following
command in Configure mode:
Proxy Server Redundancy
Some networks use proxy servers that receive HTTP requests on a non-standard port
number (i.e., not port 80). When the proxy server is available, all HTTP requests are
handled by the proxy server. The XP can provide proxy server redundancy by
transparently redirecting HTTP connections to the cache servers should the proxy server
fail. To achieve this, the XP must be configured to redirect HTTP requests on the (non-
standard) HTTP port used by the proxy server.
To redirect HTTP requests to a non-standard HTTP port number, enter the following
command in Configure mode:
Distributing Frequently-Accessed Sites Across Cache Servers
The XP uses the destination IP address of the HTTP request to determine which cache
server to send the request. However, if there is a Web site that is being accessed very
frequently, the cache server serving requests for this destination address may become
overloaded with user requests. You can specify that certain destination addresses be
distributed across the cache servers in a round-robin manner.
To distribute a specified destination address across cache servers, enter the following
command in Configure mode:
Define destination sites to which
HTTP requests are sent directly.
web-cache <cache-name> create bypass-list range
<ipaddr-range>|list <ipaddr-list>|acl <acl-
name>
Specify non-standard HTTP port. web-cache <cache-name> set http-port <port number>
Distribute destination address
across cache servers.
web-cache <cache-name> set round-robin range
<ipaddr-range>|list <ipaddr-list>
