Currently we are (still) stuck using the PECL memcache extension, but hopefully soon we will be moving to the libmemcached based PECL memcached extension. I am trying to figure out if there is any way to set it up to use persistent/shared connections.
Currently every apache/PHP process ends up with its own connection to every memcached bucket. We had to up the ephemeral port range because we were actually running out. During peak times, we still come up short. Rather than trying to squeeze out more ephemeral ports or mess with TIME_WAIT settings, it would be nice if the connections could just be pooled. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any info about this in the memcached extension. Can anyone shed some light on whether this is possible and if so, how?
