Cache redirection policies

A cache redirection virtual server applies cache redirection policies to each incoming request. By default, if a request matches one of the configured policies, it is considered non-cacheable, and the Citrix ADC appliance sends it to the origin server. Other requests are sent to a cache server. This behavior can be reversed, so that requests that match configured cache redirection policies are sent to cache servers.

The appliance provides a set of policies for cache redirection. If these built-in policies are not adequate for your deployment, you can configure user-defined cache redirection policies.

Note: Once you have determined which built-in cache redirection policies to use, or have created user-defined policies, proceed with configuring cache redirection. To use this feature, you must configure at least one cache redirection virtual server, and, for normal operation, you must bind at least one cache redirection policy to that virtual server.
