Manually Entering a Web Site Into the Cache Control List
To manually enter a Web site in the Cache Control List:
1 Log in to the Web interface.
2 Click Caching on the Toolbar.
3 Select Cache Control > Edit List in the Navigation Tree.
4 In the Enter the domain to add to the Cache Control List field, enter the
domain name, IP address or IP address range of the Web site you want to
add to the list.
5 In the Caching Behavior field select either:
■
the length of time you want the content to be pinned or
■
Never Cache if you want the Webcache never to cache the content.
6 Click Add to add the domain name, IP address or IP address range to the
list.
7 Repeat step 4 to step 6 for each Web site that you want to prevent from
being cached or pin in the cache.
If you want to remove an entry from the list, click on an entry in the list
and click
Remove . To delete all entries at once, click Remove All .
8 Click OK to save your changes.
You must clear cached objects before the current Cache Control list can
take effect. If you are going to further configure Cache Control, for
example by adding or removing domains from the list, you may want to
wait until you have completed those tasks before clearing the cache.
For example, if you want to prevent the all the subdomains of the
another.com Web site from being cached, enter
another.com
, select
Never Cache from the Caching Behavior drop-down box and click OK .
This will prevent
www.another.com
,
sales.another.com
and
yet.another.com
from being cached. Alternatively you could enter the IP
address or IP address range of the site. This might look like
192.168.5.204-192.168.5.208
.
