Hi,

I have 2 memcache boxes behind nginx. For reads, the upstream module  
lets me round-robin between the backend memcache boxes. I want the  
updates to go to all 2 memcache boxes. My question is, what is the  
best way to broadcast the updates to the backend? Is there a  
reference implementation of some module which does similar stuff  
(broadcast)?

Thanks  
Ashish

Hi There,

Anyone with some experience here? I stumbled upon the http push module  
[HTTP Push Stream | NGINX](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpPushStreamModule), but do you recommend to  
follow its path?

Thanks,  
Ashish.
