Disable caching for some hosts

Hello all,

 

 

I have a web server hosting many websites. Let's say :

 

www.gb.foo.com

 

www.es.foo.com

 

www.us.foo.com

 

www.fr.foo.com

 

etc...

 

 

Some of these virtual hosts on the web server are cached by an external provider (akamai), but not all. I have on my bigip (v9.4.1) a virtual server, with ramcache enabled, but I want to disable caching for the hosts already cached by Akamai (<10).

 

 

I'm thinking to create an irule like this (as URI exclusion will not work in the cache configuration of the virtual server) :

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

switch [HTTP::host] {

 

"www.gb.foo.com" { CACHE:disable }

 

"www.es.foo.com" { CACHE:disable }

 

"www.us.foo.com" { CACHE:disable }

 

}

 

}

 

 

Will it work ?

 

Do you have suggestions for a smarter way ?

 

 

Thanks !
