A cache for 256 nodes only generates 256 requests.  Each request is a get table 
from a given sgid.  The all to all connection model generates n^2 requests 
because each request is a get for a given sgid/dgid pair.  Additionally, cached 
requests can be done when the application isn't running, with a fairly long or 
infinite update time.

Arlin and I have discussed some caching options, including having multiple 
cache 
service daemons running on the subnet.  If more than service is running, a 
nodes 
can select a particular service to communicate with.  Communication can be done 
using RC to reduce the MAD overhead.
