I have multiples servers (200-300) in Python 2.4 calling a WCF service using REST. I would like to be able to notify those servers of some changes that occured on the WCF service instead of asking all servers in Python to do some pooling to detect such changes.

How can I do such broadcast, notification to avoid the pooling?

Thanks Sylvain

  • You may want to go with a message based solution. Are all of the servers behind the same firewall or connected through some VPN? – Dustin Davis Apr 21 '12 at 02:03
  • Thanks Yes, all those servers are behing the same firewall. All servers are into the same internal network. I never had the chance to work with a message based solution. Are you refering to msmq? – user1347733 Apr 21 '12 at 02:16
  • MSMQ or any other message queue should work. Look at the service bus pattern and that will give you an idea of what I was getting at. – Dustin Davis Apr 21 '12 at 20:12

A message bus seems to be the right choice. You might want to have a look at ZeroMQ. It's cross-platform and has bindings in a variety of languages.
