infinispan usage

[Paul Hethmon]

Well, the other nice thing with Infinispan is the choice of network
topology is independent of the integration into Shib. You can configure
Infinispan/Jgroups to do either UDP or TCP as the case may be. My simple
tests are working well right now. I expect to be testing a 2 node Shib
cluster behind a load balancer this afternoon. If that works ok, will
probably go to a limited production release sometime next week.
