As far as my limited knowledge goes there would have to be some kind of
"cache server" running on one of the machines, who handles the storage
in shm on that machine (or some other container). Is that right? Is
there a possibility of implementing your suggestion only with a cache
class? If yes, please give me a hint how to get a shm segment from
another machine using php :)
