Set a flag or flags somewhere that all the servers can see, and have them check the flag or flags periodically. Alternatively, have each server send an HTTP request to the others, to have them update their cache. This kind of thing is well-suited for the event gateway, actually, so that you don't have to wait for this to be processed to continue with the page in question.
