The solution with the best model is DNS. I am not suggesting we use DNS servers and add an extra set of record types (though that has some merit), but using the DNS model (and maybe a tight server as the base of the code, like tinyDNS or somesuch) allows a distributed heirarchy of servers, a common transport format, JIT information updates (depending on the timeouts on your local server), the ability for redundant data storage - for huge numbers of transactions consisting of relatively small amounts of data (most hits will be differential data), DNS rules the Internet. Literally. With the properties of such a mechanism, why is it not being seriously considered on this list?<BR>
<BR>
This can act as a frontend to almost any type of data store, you just need the hooks into each type of store.<BR>
