[PHP] distributed architecture....

2004-12-30 Thread Bruce Douglas
hi...

i'm contemplating a project where a number of websites would communicate with 
each other via some network of round robin/distributed servers. Each 'client' 
website/app would be considered to be a 'node' of the overall network, and be 
able to upload/download information to the network. The master servers would 
maintain the information, such that if a request for information came from one 
of the 'client' sites, the master server would shove the information back to 
the client for display. 

the overall goal of the project would be a way of allowing a client site to 
'share/exchange' information with other client sites within the network, and to 
allow the content of a given client site to be influenced by the content of 
other sites within the network...

has anybody heard/seen anything like this...??

in searching google/sourceforge/freenet/etc.. i can't find anything that's 
similar, or that could be used as a starting point for the architecture... the 
closest i can find is the open source gnutella/limeware p2p app structure...

thanks

bruce

I would also suggest that you look into SOAP for this project.  My
office hosts a search program that uses SOAP to go out and search the
databases of remote sites, most of which run architectures completely
different than ours.  It would probably be pretty easy to use SOAP to
get the data off of the master servers (use RPC calls) and it would
probably be pretty simple to upload the data using SOAP as well.
