We recently migrated a lot of data off our mysql server and onto our memcached servers. One thing we're noticing is that we're getting a disproportionate larger number of connections to memcached than to mysqld. Mysqld will usually get anywhere from 100-300 connections at a time. Our memcached servers, on the other hand, will have as many as 20k connections at a time. Is this normal or should I suspect something is the matter?
We're running Apache 2.2.x in prefork with PHP 5.2.x. memcache 1.4.1 and mysql 5.1.x. Thanks in advance.
