We are thinking of using it here as a source of data. Data that can be generated again if the memcache server goes down. As locks we are thinking of using the ADD function since it fails if the key is already set.. But I still haven't gotten to the proper implementation..

As a sidenote... Can this list be configured so as to direct replies to the list instead of the mail author?

Hello memcached !

My project is using memcached now, i wonder if memcached can add
LOCK/UNLOCK Command ?
EXPLANATION:

it would seem to me that since memcached is not considered a
'reliable' storage mechanism you should handle the transactions as
close to the data source as possible, and use normal cache
resetting/recaching methods after a successful update of the backend
storage.

i don't think anyone on this list would suggest using memcached as a
database or source of data. it is purely for distributed caching of
data to offload databases and such.
