Agree! Memcache is meant to be a fast cache. If you need to deploy a shared memcache used by several users, you could add a proxy that prefixes all mc keys by the user id, so there are no conflicts, and you have the advantage of all the memory being shared in a pool instead of having different instances infrautilized. -- Guille -ℬḭṩḩø- <[email protected]> :wq
