James, re. objectbroker I would use the FarCry api. look for removeFromObjectBroker there is a wrapper for it in fapi.
I would look to use this on content update, firing off a request to each servber to call removeFromObjectBroker for the objectID to remove that content item from the broker on all servers, it will get added back in with new content when next requested.
