to Redis DB

Hi there.

We have a need to "share" information between one master.... and N number of slaves where N can be up to 200.

I've been asked to find out what the maximum number of slaves are in redis. I haven't been able to find anything that's been documented explicitly about this.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Also, just as a side comment... coming from a programmer background, this feels wrong - aka having this many slaves. So I'm also looking into how pub / sub works in redis.

I notice in the redis.conf file that you can have up to 10,000 clients connect. So if I'm understanding things correctly, I should have enough connections to follow a pub / sub model instead of a master / slave replication set up.
