We want to cache multiple domains using the plugin-cfg.xml plugin and cache.
properties config file so that we cache on the web-server instead of the app
 server.

e.g. The cache.properties files on all web-servers point to
www1.store.ca. When we fail over to our backup domains, the domain changes t
o www2.store.ca.

We've experimented with changing the value in cache.properties to just store
.ca. Caching continues but on the app server only.

Would adding a VirtualHost Name to the plugin-cfg.xml do the trick?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

You probably need to recycle the web servers (so that the plugin re-reads
the cache.properties file) - did you try that?

Without the www2.store.ca domain in the plugin-cfg.xml I'm surprised the
site works at all when you fail-over?!

By the way, if you have a busy site, be careful about using this caching
method (with the web server talking directly to the cache daemon). It relies
on a 1 to 1 mapping of http processes to WebSphere threads. For example, if
you have 1000 http connections you will require 1000 threads also.

Cheers,
Glen.
