I have a number of clients that receive an XML datafeed. This datafeed can

Service for any changes.


I am not positive what the ramifications would be, but callbacks may be an option here.

If all of your clients have web servers, a better solution might be to have a cgi program that your server contacts to inform them of any change.

Just some thoughts.
