This should be as simple as creating a custom HTTP Profile, Enable RAM Cache, and create an iRule to specify what to cache (if you skip this part it will try and cache everything which can get messy).

 

 

I specify a custom HTTP Profile since all Virtual Servers that share the profile with RAM Cache enabled will all try and cache into the same reserved memory space, which can be counter productive if so many files are being cached that you are forcing it to drop the files that you really enabled it to cache.

 

 

The Cache Commands are here: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.CACHE.ashx

 

 

You will mainly be interested in CACHE::enable and CACHE::disable

 

 

Hope this helps.
