Why reinvent the wheel? I'd say a session bean in front of
a commercial high performing persistent cache is the obvious
solution. We've used Gemstone/J very successfully in a project
with similar requirements. It provides the caching, load balancing
and fail over out of the box. http://www.gemstone.com
