Hi

     I am looking for some opinions on how to best handle this =
situation.  I am willing to do all of the research about each topic but =
would like some points of view on how others would handle this.  Thanks =
Mike

- I have developed a search engine that caches the results
- Currently I save the results in a text file on the local machine that =
runs apache
- This system works well for the test system but I need to have a =
central storage system for these requests
- I plan on having over 250 and up to 1000's different servers saving =
and retrieving information from this central system

- I currently have a linux box with the reiser filesystem installed =
ready for this central system because it handles lots and lots of small =
files very well
- My thought is that the file system would be quicker for lookups than a =
MySQL database (I use it in other areas of the system)

- I have looked at cpan and have found a module file::remote that I =
could use but I feel there might be a more efficient solution

- Since this is happening on a local network, I could assign a port for =
each server to save connection overhead

Any thoughts on this subject would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks =
again.
