Cache Server Hostname Source

This policy allows you to specify how your client(s) can discover Delivery Optimization in Network Cache servers dynamically.

Options available are:

1 = DHCP Option 235.

2 = DHCP Option 235 Force.

For both options, the client will query DHCP Option ID 235 and use the returned value as the Cache Server Hostname. Option 2 overrides the Cache Server Hostname policy, if configured.

Supported on: At least Windows 10 Server, Windows 10 or Windows 10 RT
