Isn't that really up to the design of the cache being used?

If you use two in-memory caches (i.e. in process) for two processes, they 
will become out-of-sync. So that's the wrong solution. They should use an 
on-disk cache that is common to the processes.

Same for processes across machines, they shouldn't have two machine local 
caches, they should use a centralized cache, or memcached, or some other 
setup that is distributed across the machines.

But again, isn't that up to the cache itself (and the 
configuration/deployment of it) to deal with? Not DBIC.

IMHO.
