I've got the following setup:

- Two Webapps pointing two a single umbraco db

- One Webapp is for http communication, one for https

- Webapps have separate folders with different settings in web.config (e.g. no authentication allowed on http, payment settings in https web.config)

When I publish content in the https webapp it also immediatly appears on the http site

But when i change a dictionary item in one web app it is only reflected in the other when I force an umbraco app restart (e.g touch web.config).

I've also created a page which runs the following code to republish everything:

                    umbraco.cms.businesslogic.web.Document.RePublishAll();
                    umbraco.library.RefreshContent();

I've got the following setting in the my dev umbracoSettings.config

  <distributedCall enable="true">
    <!-- the id of the user who's making the calls -->
    <!-- needed for security, umbraco will automatically look up correct login and passwords -->
    <user>0</user>
    <servers>
      <!-- add ip number or hostname, make sure that it can be reached from all servers -->
      <server>localhost</server>
      <server>localhost:81</server> <!-- this is the makeshift https server -->
    </servers>
  </distributedCall>

Is there a way of getting the dictionary items refresh on both servers when they are updated?
