1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a presence server cache, a request for a status of an instant messaging user;
searching, by the presence server cache, for a status indicator associated with the instant messaging user;
determining, by the presence server cache, that the status indicator associated with the instant messaging user is not included within the presence server cache;
transmitting, by the presence server cache, a request to a the presence server for the status of the instant messaging user; and
creating, by the presence server, an association of a plurality of clients with the presence server cache, the association based upon, at least in part, a type of client device on which the plurality of clients operate, wherein the association of the plurality of clients with the presence server cache is further based upon, at least in part, a same buddy list change made by a plurality of users of the plurality of clients, wherein the buddy list change results in a change in association of the plurality of clients with the presence server cache to a second presence server cache.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, by a presence server cache, a request for a status of an instant messaging user; searching, by the presence server cache, for a status indicator associated with the instant messaging user; determining, by the presence server cache, that the status indicator associated with the instant messaging user included within the presence server cache is not current; and transmitting, by the presence server cache, a request to the presence server for a current status of the instant messaging user; and creating, by the presence server, an association of a plurality of clients with the presence server cache, the association based upon, at least in part, a type of client device on which the plurality of clients operate, wherein the association of the plurality of clients with the presence server cache is further based upon, at least in part, a same buddy list change made by a plurality of users of the plurality of clients, wherein the buddy list change results in a change in association of the plurality of clients with the presence server cache to a second presence server cache.

9. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, by a presence server cache, a plurality of requests for a status of an instant messaging user; searching, by the presence server cache, for a status indicator associated with the instant messaging user; if the status indicator associated with the instant messaging users is not included within the presence server cache, transmitting, by the presence server cache, a request to the presence server for the status of the instant messaging user; and transmitting, by the presence server cache, a plurality of responses responsive to the plurality of request, wherein the plurality of responses include the status of the instant messaging user; and creating, by the presence server, an association of a plurality of clients with the presence server cache, the association based upon, at least in part, a type of client device on which the plurality of clients operate, wherein the association of the plurality of clients with the presence server cache is further based upon, at least in part, a same buddy list change made by a plurality of users of the plurality of clients, wherein the buddy list change results in a change in association of the plurality of clients with the presence server cache to a second presence server cache.
