Yes, you can run remote memcached instances be they even say international.
I run expermentally a SSH connection to our server cluster remotely and via it have access to our memcached cluster. I could thereby connect memcached daemons at this location to our remote cluster. Personally, I am unsure if there are any memcached agents that allow you to run a complete duplicate memcached instance like you envision. Most memcached daemons work in a distributed workload model where all the memcached daemons split the load and split the stored data. Here is one memcached solution that *appears* to do what you want - repcached: http://repcached.lab.klab.org/ On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 10:18 PM, Martin Bay <[email protected]> wrote: > Well my reason for asking was actually related to memcached - wether > or not it is possible to use foreign located servers to maintain a > live copy of the primary memcached db and thereby serve foreign users > better.
