Hostname Pass-Through
By default, requests made by a CacheFly service to the origin to fetch objects use a host header containing the name of the origin.
By enabling the Hostname Pass-Through option, the request from the CacheFly service to the origin will instead provide the name which was sent to the CacheFly content distribution network (CDN) with the original request.
This may be useful for load balancing, proxying, or traffic routing efficiency.
You can enable the Hostname Pass-Through option for individual CacheFly services. See more on creating and managing a service.
