% A distributed pixel cache is an extension of the traditional pixel cache
% available on a single host.  The distributed pixel cache may span multiple
% servers so that it can grow in size and transactional capacity to support
% very large images.  Start up the pixel cache server on one or more machines.
% When you read or operate on an image and the local pixel cache resources are
% exhausted, ImageMagick contacts one or more of these remote pixel servers to
% store or retrieve pixels.
