Re: [Serusers] Replication problem

Don't understand me wrong, I'm sure there are a lot of people who benefit from this caching mechanism in terms of performance, but my experience with this is, well, very bad, when using it in a bigger environment. For me (and I think a lot of other people, like Paul, who mentioned it too in the above thread) the performance won due to the cache lookup is so minimal in combination with my 10-15 other mysql queries and 1-2 enum queries per call, that I really don't care, especially when thinking about the advantages of a consistend location table in the backend DB: No need to replicate on SIP level anymore (and there's no really usable mechanism for that for more than two SER nodes), no need to distribute other contacts like aliases to every single SER node using a remote fifo hack, the need of much less memory, much faster startup time and so on, and that all for just a few more milliseconds of latency. So IMHO the option of disabling the cache absolutely makes sense *in some circumstances*, like large scale systems. Andy
