at this point, the application is on a single machine, but I'm being tasked with moving our database onto another machine and implement load balancing b/w 2 webservers.

an old issue:"a dream solution would be if all child processes could *update* a large global structure."we have a tool that loads a huge store of data (25-50Mb+) from a database into many perl hashes at start up: each session needs access to all these data but it would be prohibitive to use mysql or another databases for multiple, large lookups (and builds), at each session: there are quite a few structures, each are very big.if the data never changed, it would be trivial; load/build just at start-up.but since the data changes often, we use a semaphore strategy to determine when childern should reload/rebuild the structures (after updates have been made).this is painful. there has got to be a better way of doing this - I've seen posts on memcache and other, more exotic animals.can someone point me in the right direction: a reference/read, or a stable modules that exist for our situation?thanks in advance,william
