There are more problems with multicast:
- IIRC a multicast is not garanteed to be received
That's true, multicast relies on UDP (like streams) in stead of TCP.
- multicast can only be done within the same subnet, while this is not true for the database connection. So, if you run 2 mmbase's on the same database, but in a different network, multicast cannot be used to synchronize the caches.
OK, but creating something with for instance RMI (TCP based) would need more resources...
So, perhaps there needs to be a small project who offers an alternative for multicast. Perhaps using RMI or so. It should then of course also consider this Thread issue.
If i remember reading correctly at irc this afternoon is that more MMBase modules suffer from this issue.
