Ahh, but there probably is a way to collaborate/share a document or query...
Chat rooms do it!
White Boards do it!
BBSs do it
I am not familiar with the clustered server implementation, but there
must be some *Master* program in control and to act as arbiter.
The server cluster *Master* program would need to keep track of all
cached queries and which clients are using which version... not too
difficult a task.
Then each client would have a browser plugin to act as a user agent &
periodically query the server cluster *Master* program to make sure
he is using the latest version of a (query/document). This could be
time-initiated, event-initiated or both.
Probably easiest to do on a LAN or an intranet.
With high bandwidth, it shouldn't be too bad on the Internet.
A simple Flash 5 program would be a good candidate for the client-side agent
Hmmm...
