We present a fluid approximation model to analyse the stability of two frequently used data structure maintenance strategies in client-server distributed environments, namely, concurrent and periodic maintenance strategies. We give a detailed analysis for a linear list data structure and derive the maximum allowable value of the input arrival rate under which a stable system can be obtained when these maintenance strategies are used. Conditions under which one strategy may be more preferable than the other in terms of the system throughput and the variance of the service time distribution are identified. The stability behaviour of these two maintenance strategies under high traffic situation is also investigated
