<p>The <span class="apiname">Distribute Information (QcstDistributeInformation)</span> API
can be used to send messages from one node in a cluster resource group recovery
domain to other nodes in that recovery domain.This can be useful in exit program
processing. However, it should be noted that there is no encrypting of that
information. Secure information should not be sent using this mechanism unless
you are using a secure network.</p>
<p>Non-persistent data can be shared and replicated between cluster nodes
using the Clustered Hash Table APIs. The data is stored in non-persistent
storage. This means the data is retained only until the cluster node is no
longer part of the clustered hash table. These APIs can only be used from
a cluster node that is defined in the clustered hash table domain. The cluster
node must be active in the cluster.</p>
<p>Other information distributed via cluster messaging is similarly not secured.
This includes the low level cluster messaging. As such, when changes are made
to the exit program data, there is no encrypting of the message containing
that data.</p>
