title: Ehcache multiple JVM - opensource?
body: <p>Hey I'm currently running ehcache with spring in tomcat. I have a couple webs servers running their own instance of ehcache which I want to now moved to a shared/distributed cache. Im not looking to use a commercial license just yet until we are happy with its performance and need more formal support while we scale out. </p>
  
  <p>What has me confused is the ehcache/teracotta site. All the documentation seems geared towards running ehcache cache withing a teracotta server which I can then have my webservers connect to by updating my ehcache config files... however it seems like the instructions are for using a commercial version?</p>
  
  <p>I dont really need the clustering now ( and can understand if that is part of an enterprise license) but I had thought that I can setup an opensource distributed cache instance?  Does anyone have any links to a how to? Or just general instructions on how to move from the embedded instance to a shared instance?</p>
