c# - AppFabric cache configuration and hosts -

the msdn documentation unfortunately not clear. want know that, if have 3 servers in cache cluster:

cacheserver1

cacheserver2

cacheserver3

then why need specify each of these servers in applications' web.config or app.config so:

<datacacheclient> <hosts> <host name="cacheserver1" cacheport="22233"/> <host name="cacheserver2" cacheport="22233"/> <host name="cacheserver3" cacheport="22233"/> </hosts> </datacacheclient>

?

if there leadhost (each of them default believe) certainly 1 manage/distribute info across cluster? means if new node added cluster, have add together host entry app config rather lead host beingness able distribute info across nodes sees fit?

i thought specify lead hosts in config file , lead host distributes info across cluster.

am missing something?

how can check if info beingness distributed across cluster?

the concept of lead hosts exists management of cluster , not client requests. note lead hosts concept exists if using xml config appfabric cache. if sql, sql single point cluster management. there minimum quorum of lead hosts required cluster , running. little clusters, expected have /2 +1 number of lead hosts that. explanation of lead host/ sql cluster management can found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee790954(v=azure.10).aspx

this different managing requests/messages sent client.
