Hi.
I've been making more and more use of this library, and I think it would
benefit APR and it's userbase significantly if it was included in the
core codebase in apr-util.
apr_memcache is library which lets your process talk to a set of
distributed memcached servers (see www.danga.com/memcached/) and allows
you to have one shared cache across a group of machines with a simple to
use interface.
I have used this code personally for:
- a module to provide bandwidth protection over a server farm
- to cache intermediate results off a busy server. (instead of using
shared mem)
and I'm sure there are others who have used it successfully as well.
the code is currently sitting here:

This is assuming Paul is OK with it of course.
regards
Ian.
