The trunk version of rrdtool has support for rrdinfo via rrdcached; so theoretically, this could be used to retrieve the structure so that --template could be supported by rrdupdate via rrdcached. However it wouldn't vbe a 5min job. Also, it would necessitate several more actions by rrdtool/rrdcached which would probably negate any benefits of using rrdcached (other than being able to work over the network) so might not be worth the effort.

I don't know of anyone working towards this at present ... the problem with supporting --template is that it requires knowledge about the structure of the rrd file which rrdcached does not have by design ... there are ideas on how to change this (it would also enable updatev) but the changes would be quite extensive ...
