NetCache generates a query for www-origin.x.com and gives the IP address of the
origin server

Acceleration 10
HTTP Acceleration
HTTP Acceleration: Possible configuration
Name server for x.com domain is configured so
that:
A query for www.x.com gives the IP address of
the accelerator
NetCache generates a query for wwworigin.x.com and gives the IP address of the
origin server
Accelerator is configured to use www-origin.x.com
as the origin server
HTTP AccelerationTo accelerate a second web site with the same accelerator the
above procedure could be followed again, e.g., a DNS query for www.y.com would give
the same IP address as the one for www.x.com. The Host header allows the accelerator to
distinguish between the requests.

Rule
Options on the Setup > HTTP > Web Server Acceleration > New Web Server
AccelerationRule page and the Setup > HTTP > Web Server Acceleration > Edit a
Web Server Acceleration Rule page allow you to create or edit a Web server
acceleration rule. Web server acceleration rules configure the Web accelerator to fetch
and cache requested HTTP objects from specific Web servers based on the IP address,
port number, or host name contained in the received HTTP request.

Rule
Options on the Setup > Streaming > Streaming Server Acceleration > New
Streaming Server Acceleration Rule page and the Setup > Streaming > Streaming
Server Acceleration > Edit a Streaming Server Acceleration Rule page allow you to
create or edit a streaming server acceleration rule. Streaming server acceleration rules
configure the streaming accelerator to fetch, serve and sometimes cache requested
streaming data from specific streaming servers based on the IP address, port number, or
host name contained in the received streaming request.

Use local /etc/hosts file of client to simulate editing the DNS name server
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2.
Open host file on your PC client and type an entry directing your URL
request to your NetCache servers IP address.
Enter 64.94.95.11 pdc.blue.netapp.com
Note:
This step replaced the actual editing of the DNS table to resolve the
web server to the IP address of the NetCache
Configure NetCache
