@ firepages : I might be able to swing the addition of a php-extension with the server admin. But this won't be the route to go, since memcache/d is only the connecting piece to a separate
memchached server. No go, unfortunately.
@ tangoforce : your idea sounds very intriguing. I have never done anything like that, but I will use the might of the Internet to look for some examples and convert it to my use.
Thank you
