I've just now suggested this on Slashdot: At startup, issue a big multi-line warning if the IP addresses that are getting bound aren't on the loopback address or a private internet. The private internets are defined in RFC 1918 as:10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)
That would be a knee jerk reaction to a poorly worded headline on Slashdot because some idiot sysadmins at some high profile sites should be fire for setting up memcached in the one way it was never ever ever intended to be setup.
