------------------------------------
As to Jan's question re: "issues with connections from a distant node vs.
master", not sure if I understand the question, but here's what I know. A
remote cache agent should be on the LAN where the client is located, or if you
are on a build server, it can be installed on the client machine itself (and if
necessary, filtered to just the projects you are interested in). Whether it
connects to a distant server and root cache is irrelevant, as the improvements
achieved by connecting to the local remote cache are going to add benefit, and
StarTeam automatically figures out on a case by case basis whether it is more
efficient to check out from the server or from the local cache (usually the
latter, unless the file is not yet cached). Connecting to a root cache is not
actually an option; though you won't get any errors, the root cache does not
serve clients, it only serves remote caches.
The things to keep in mind when thinking about distance are: if the target site
is not in the internal network (e.g. site to site VPN), they will need to
subscribe to an MPX profile with an address that is resolvable at the target
site (you can do this with a DNS entry, cname, host.ini, etc.), and then the
remote cache at that site has to be configured to use those same entries, as
the true IP will not be visible at the remote site.
Aside from that I don't know of any specific issues to comment on. Perhaps
I've misunderstood your question though, so please clarify if needed.
