Actually, (gasp!) that's how the beta version of the server works. You add a TXT record to your dns server. In my case:

_aaplcache._tcp 10800 IN TXT "prs=137.238.0.0-137.238.255.255"

(You do this when you don't do any NAT.  We don't do any NAT.)

App store downloads aren't being redirected to our local apple cache server yet. I /hope/ it's just because the dns record isn't all the way to apple yet, but google has it, time warner has it, open dns has it....

I don't know yet...

So I have this working right now but not real happy in how I got it to work. 
Basically we are using policy NAT to give the server and the client the same 
public IP address just when they go to Apple. Anything to 17.0.0.0/8 gets the 
same public IP address. I'd like to refine that down but haven't had a chance 
to figure out the IP ranges. That and the fact that these could change without 
notice isn't helpful. I can say that so far this appears to be working without 
any adverse effects. We'll see how it works tomorrow.

We've been trying the same on a Mavericks server. A huge limitation is for the 
out-of-the-box magic to happen, all your clients need to live behind a single 
NAT IP.

If you have access to OS X Yosemite Beta Server you can install an Apple 
cacheing server on this OS. We are trying to set one up here in anticipation of 
the downloads. Apple is shy on the documentation for this feature so if anyone 
can share any success in this setup please pass it along to the list.

We're trying out the new application based bandwidth controls on our Aruba

the iOS devices from saturating everything tomorrow.
