[UPHPU] Memcache

[Richard K Miller]

I recently turned on Memcache for our installations of MediaWiki.  
(Memcache is the caching system used by LiveJournal, Facebook,  
Wikipedia, Slashdot, and Digg. I could present about it at a future  
UPHPU meeting.)

I have Mediawiki on one server and Memcache on another server,  
connected to each other through a hardware firewall. Since we have  
spare ports and the servers are in the same rack, would it be a good  
idea (much faster?) to connect the servers directly to each other and  
bind Memcache to that particular interface? Any reason not to?
