Ben,
I agree that socket based session cache may be a good idea, but at the times
I ran your server, gcache *did* cause problems. Every now and then, when
the main server finished for watever reason (configuration error etc.),
gcache process continued running holding the socket and preventing the
new server process from starting. You had to find gcache process and kill
it by hand. You may have fixed it since then but anyway such approach looks
less robust...
