It seems that if you really cared about having a shared cache this would be
the most robust way to handle it.  The pushing of replies could happen over
multicast, each of the servers could just join the group and go from there.
Memory is cheap, at least given how big we've seen our caches get so far.

I remember years ago we used a sideways cache using bind's forward-first
feature with the notion that it would improve performance but I'm not sure
it every did anything other than cause us problems in the end.
