Manages the loading of cache entries remotely, upon the host that actually contains the cache entry. The benefit of this approach lies in the ability to 'gate' access to specific resources across the entire network. That is; where particular cache entries are prohibitively costly to construct, it is worthwhile ensuring that cost is reduced to a bare minimum. These remote loaders allow the cache host to block multiple network clients until there's a new entry available. Without this mechanism, it would become possible for multiple network clients to request the same entry simultaneously, therefore increasing the overall cost. The end result is similar to that of a distributed transaction.
