Jason,
I suspect that /Express points to REBOL's solution to your problem. It's a
push server kind of like Marimba - REBOL applets and data are synchronized
on the clients machine at some scheduled interval.
Push is a pretty good caching strategy for the kind of small applets/data
combo that Reblets will function best on, but /Express is neither here
today or free. If you're looking for something like that, you might want
to consider an approach with an existing peer-to-peer framework that
possesses synchronization capabilities - distributing Reblet/Data bundles
using something like Groove et al. is something I've played around with,
and it works pretty well. There are other frameworks, but Groove is the
most polished I've seen firsthand and has a pretty low learning curve.
