Can mem_cache be configured to cache way more than you have memory, and swap out to disk for whatever is least popular?

Why not mem cache then? Why would you bother with ramdisk if you want to cache in memory? If I'm using a unique CacheRoot (a sub-directory in the tmpfs mount), is there anyway to configure Apache to create the CacheRoot directory if it doesn't already exist? If anyone has any thoughts / recommendations / tips in this regards to this approach I would be grateful to here them. > > Thanks, > Paul
