Hi guys! Thanks for the info.
Here is one exmaple to make things more clear on what I am sking about: imagine gographically distributed healthcare organization. Each site has its own Cache data sever Patient is mostly seen on the site closest to his home. Sometimes he goes on a business trip and needs to visit a doctor some other place/site. When he visits this other site, they need to have access to his medical history, stored on server at home. Please note, that replication of all data stored on server at home to the remote site server is best avoided and sites should be mostly independent. Is it possble to accomplish this, and if so how, using capabilities of Cache 5 alone? Thanks.
