Memcache and multiple servers

    Does W3TC support sharing the memcache cache between multiple WordPress servers serving the same site?

    I know it explicitly says “multiple servers” when selecting it, but I feel like I tried before and ran across some problems with it. (Not that I can remember what those problems were.) I just thought I’d get a direct confirmation.

    Also, assuming that it does support multiple servers, is there anything that I should be aware of that I need to configure differently?

    Yes, I need to write a detailed post on how to do this. It’s not hard. Can you email me?

    I emailed you through that link. Frederick Townes responded requesting that I submit a bug report through the admin interface. I couldn’t tell whether the bug report went through or not. (The page reloaded with no acknowledgement either positive or negative.) I responded to Frederick via email with that information and I haven’t heard back yet.

    I just want to make sure that I’m corresponding in the way you want.

    Hey wfaulk and Willie,

    I’m also trying to set up W3 with memcache in a cloud.

    Would love to hear suggestions and some best practices if there are any.

    Thanks,
    Lex

    The quick summary of our offline email conversation is:

    It won’t work.

    As for my opinion, I think that WordPress is simply the wrong choice for any site that needs multiple backend servers for any reason. The architecture simply isn’t there to support it.

    That said, WordPress was selected by non-technical people in my business and I can’t change that decision. I think I’m going back to look at Batcache again.
