| when there is a filter saying:
- *.bozo.com/* cached
- www.bozo.com/db* not cached
what is cached, what is not? The books that I have do not say much. In different tests I found different answers. Like: everything is gonna be cached or everything is gonna be cached except www.bozo.com/db. Can anybody help me? | |

| Hi Anna,
The first filter states to cache everything in the bozo.com domain.
The second filter presents an exception to the first filter.
If there was a third filter, that would present an exception to the second filter, etc...and so on 
So for this, everything is going to get cached except what is stated by the second filter.
Hope this helps!!

| Thanks, that's what I thought but CICPreP test
said something different. | |

| Think of it this way...
Draw a large circle and write www.bozo.com/* in the circle. Draw a second circle inside the first one and name it DB. Shade that one in.
What the cache filter is telling you is:
Cache everything on the www.bozo.com site, including subdirectories.
Wait, I changed my mind... don't cache anything in the DB directory or any subdirectories below it.
So your proxy server will check the filter, and if it is from the www.bozo.com site, and NOT in the DB directory or any subdirectory of DB, it will be cached.
The reverse could hold true as well...
If it was www.bozo.com/* do not cache
and www.bozo.com/DB/* cache
It wouldn't cache anything from the www.bozo.com site except for items from the DB directory, or subdirectories of DB. Think of them as amendments to the constitution 
Hope it helped.
