Caching Issues

Not sure if everyone is aware of this but i thought I would post this in case it does help someone.

 

 

It appears that if you specify global or regular expressions in the uri include list (and the include is only looking for REGEX arguments) but you leave the EXCLUDE field empty, then the BIGIP will cache EVERY object that falls within the minimum size parameters (static and dynamic).

 

 

Furthermore, if you put a .* entry in the exclude list, the BIGIP will cache NOTHING even if you put entries into the include list.

 

 

see SOL12640 for more info

 

 

Also see SOL13493 regarding the use of IRULEs for caching!
