Cache Server
-
i watched your video the other day about caching server, and i got it up and running, but when i go and update some apps on an iPad, they don't update. it looks like it's going to update, but they don't. What am i doing wrong? i have it set to all clients from public IP to use cache and I can see the server cached the Mac OS updates.
Thanks!

Please check against this list of `Content types supported by the caching service' and let us rule that out first.
It may be as simple as that if your configuration is setup the way that Don showed you... but let's start with elimination possibilities here first. We'll try to help!

I verified the list again to make sure it was a category that the caching server will work with. The iPad is running iOS 9.x and it's trying to update some apps OTA.

Thanks for putting up with my request, I know it may seem silly but now that we know it can support it...
Is the app update you're trying to cache non i-cloud update? if so,please verify that
AllowSharedCachingis yes (should be default).If your devices have different IP addresses (i.e. they are on different subnets) than your caching server, have you configured your dns correctly? If not take a look at this guide.
To see if that's the issue, try to connect your iPad to the same IP subnet as the caching server. If your device updates on the same subnet then you know you may need to do one of the three options listed in that article.

I'm not understanding on what you mean by a non iCloud update? Both devices are using the same public IP address. In the settings i have set the following:
- Cache content from all networks
- Serve clients with public address matching this server's network
That should allow the iPad to download app updates, then cache them. But when i click on update, the update icon turns into the circle like it's going to download the update, but it doesn't move.

@Gina-Chapman,
"If you provide caching service for clients with public IP addresses, you need to add or edit a DNS TXT record for your Caching Server" this is from the Provide Caching Service page.Check and verify that there is a DNS record for your caching server. You can see instructions here.

@Ronnie-Wong, I am sorry if i am confusing you or maybe i am just confused. :) :)
Our network is configured by using multipel vlans. the wireless network is comprised of three different vlans (which is dhcp). and the mac mini is on a different vlan setup as a static IP. The setup is similar to the ones listed in the about cahcing service in the server help document.

Verify or configure :
If your MAC Mini (Caching Server is on a different subnet (VLAN) than your devices (iPad) trying to get updates for your applications, you may need additional configuration:-
In the Server app Caching pane, click Edit next to Permissions.
-
Click the “Cache content for clients connecting from” pop-up menu, then choose "only some networks.”
-
Add local subnets by clicking the add button, then choose an IP address group name. (Add the Subnets of each VLAN you want to be able to connect)
-
If the IP address group you want isn’t listed as a choice, you can create it here. **(Must know your IP Networks)
** -
To create a different IP address range, click the add button, then choose “Create a new network.” **(If the VLAN is not here...create it.)
** -
Enter the IP address group name, a starting IP address, and an ending IP address. ** (Remember to enter the address range here.)
** -
You can put an address range in CIDR notation (for example, 10.0.0.1/16) in the Start IP Address field, then the ending address will automatically be entered.
-
After you add the desired IP address group, click Create.
-
When you finish the configuration, click OK.
