Hello all, Forgive my ignorance as I am trying to get my head around memcached and how it could help in a idea I have. My idea is to bring OSSEC and OpenVAS together and share results between multiple nodes with the aim of being able to re-write iptables or WAF rules.
I would be holding all data in a central MySQL database with a cron/daemon Perl script that would query it and build datasets. This data would be written into a memcached database if it does not already exist. Each web/application server would have an instance of memcached running as-well so would the data automatically be shared with the other servers ? When memcached data is distributed to other nodes (servers) is there any sort of trigger to show that new data exists ? or would one need to use a serial number akin to DNS ? Sorry if these are all silly questions! -- Thanks, Organic Spider | Weaving Open Source Technology
