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.
