Overview

When you are using Wacs to host an adult web site, certain issues come more to the fore than they do when you're just using it for collection management. In this chapter we're going to be looking at some of those issues and the tools available within Wacs to address them.

The first issue we're going to look at is that of the benefits of creating self referential download records for sets unique to your own site (or sites) and how that aids in site management. We'll also take a look at the wacsdnlreg command that simplifies creating these records. The second issue we'll look at is that of content caching and the associated cache management tasks.
