Cache.Remove from a seperate web server -- asp.net caching

Have two web servers, cacheX will reside on each server seperately,
expiration gets set when each gets created.
Power users (only 2-3 people) for the web app want the ability to
remove the cache on both servers from a single interface button click.

I know these power users will be using web serverN so I need to remove
cacheX from serverN and also remove from serverP
<code>
'remove from cache on serverN
Context.Cache.Remove("cacheX")
'remove from serverP, different server on network
http or IP Address.Context.Cache.Remove("cacheX")
</code>

Thanks in advance.

one approach is to write a service running on the machine that accepts a
flag. your application monitors this flag and removes the item from the
cache when the flag is set. you can then use the service running on all
boxes to synch these boxes together
