Every few seconds your cached data is going to be invalidated, which will make sure you server stays thoroughly utilized. Sqlite shines when you don't need a data base daemon running on some central server and access requirements fit file ACLs. You don't have that. You need to distribute at a higher level. Bite the bullet and set up a real db you can connect to and write from multiple clients, and let it do what it's designed to do: arbitrate writes to maintain data integrity. AFS doesn't solve this problem (nor does NFS).
