[Chicago-talk] More Details on Socket-to-Hash Question

[Domenico Tassone]

Wow, thanks so much for the feedback!

To clarify:

1) Situation: there are two separately hosted Linux-Apache-MySQL-Perl
servers. Site A is consumer facing and site B is for partners; for
non-technical reasons the sites are branded differently and need to stay
that way.

2) Basically, a user on server A initiates a process whereby a key value
alone needs to be looked up in a particular field in a MySQL table on server
B. If the key value is matched then the results (a key value and maybe 10
associated values) need to be returned to server A. Once the data has been
received in hash form, it can be processed and displayed back to the user on
server A. 

3) I'm not sure about synchronicity or queueing but wondering what kind of
latency have people seen with this kind of set-up?
