Chapter 9

NetCache Deployment with Firewalls

About this chapter  

This chapter contains a number of possible strategies for deploying a NetCache appliance with your firewalls. A firewall separates networks and enforces security policies about communication between networks. When you deploy NetCache appliances in your network, you need to make decisions about where to locate NetCache appliances in relation to the firewall. Depending on the location you choose and the type of firewall you are using, you might need to configure the NetCache appliance to support your deployment.

If you are deploying a streaming media cache, also read Considerations for firewalls and streaming media service.

Note
Keep in mind that a NetCache appliance is not a substitute for a firewall or an electronic commerce server.
