BranchCache, Content and Hosted Cache server on the Same Server

================= 
Hi, I have 5 Domain Controllers and 1 Member server all used as file servers in different locations. 2 of the Domain Controllers have at least 1 folder share that needs BranchCache enabling and the 1 Member Server has 2 folder shares that need BranchCache enabling. I have a question re BranchCache:-

  1. Can each of my content servers also be the hosted cache servers for the other content servers files?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to our new Microsoft Q&A Platform.


Yes, you can configure a content server in a branch office (that serves content to other branch offices as well as the local office) as a Hosted Cache server. When BranchCache-enabled clients download content from remote content servers, they will cache it on the local Hosted Cache server for reuse by other clients; and when the clients access content from the local content server, they won't cache it on the Hosted Cache server.
