Excluding Noncacheable Sites

Some Web sites provide content that is not well suited for redirection to cache servers. Such
sites might provide browser-based games or applications that keep real-time session informa-
tion or authenticate by client IP address.
To prevent such sites from being redirected to cache servers, create a filter which allows this
specific traffic to pass normally through the Web switch. This filter must have a higher prece-
dence (a lower filter number) than the application redirection filter.
For example, if you wished to prevent a popular Web-based game site on subnet 200.10.10.*
from being redirected, you could add the following to the previous example configuration:
>> # /cfg/slb/filt 1
>> Filter 1# dip 200.10.10.0
>> Filter 1# dmask 255.255.255.0
>> Filter 1# sip any
>> Filter 1# proto tcp
>> Filter 1# dport http
>> Filter 1# sport any
>> Filter 1# action allow
>> Filter 1# ena
>> Filter 1# ../port 5
>> SLB port 5# add 1
>> SLB port 5# ../port 6
>> SLB port 6# add 1
>> SLB port 6# apply
>> SLB port 6# save
