I have a need to share a hash table among several processes. It's for

custom allocator, one that only allocates data from shared memory?
An alternative might be using memcached via apr_memcache:

I plan on trying to get apr_memcache into APR-Util sooner or later. I
wanted to write up a patch for mod_ssl to use it as a SSL Session
storage backend first. I am already using it in my mod_gnutls to store
SSL sessions.
It does sound like something I could use. I can definitely see the
benefit of a cluster of web servers sharing the data. But I don't see
a way to inspect the cache or persist the data stored in memcached in
some other way. Is that possible?
