Here is the problem I'm toying with in my head.

I am serving many ( 1000's) of large files (~20MB - 1GB, typically ~50MB)
over the internet via Apache (on linux). I have multiple Apache servers
distributed across the US that are connected by the Internet. Connection
speeds between servers are approximately 10mbs. The servers all serve
exactly the same files and originate from the 1 system.

I am investigating mechanisms to automate the distribution of these files to
the Apache boxes. A steady rate of file arrival is required ( atleast fast
enough to saturate the upstream link from the origin box to the Apache
servers).

Idealy I would prefer some form of distributed file system that allowed me
standard access to a file system on the origin box and that would
transparently distribute to all the apache servers. It would also be nice to
have some kind of event driven notification when a particular file was
available on a particular server.

Anyone have any thoughts on how suited Intermezzo will be to this problem?
