HOW TO: Filter Cache Entries in ISA Server 2000 (310100)

SUMMARY

This article describes how to filter Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server cache entries. You can filter content that is saved to the Web Proxy cache. The default ISA Server Web cache configuration allows all content, except for HTTPS content, to be stored in the Web cache. You may want content from certain sites to be excluded from the cache. You use Web Routing rules to filter the content in the Web cache. To filter content in the Cache, use the steps in both of the following sections.
