I have it running now since 2 days and it seems to do its job without 
problems.

Ok I looked at this, and made a small change in order to have persistent 
connections
to the memcached deamon. The patch is attached to this message.

I see. The pecl memcache implementation (which is used by Horde) doesn't 
support
multiple servers as for example the perl-API does.
(see  <http://www.danga.com/memcached/>  under "Porting the Application" 
and the
perl-API from CPAN ).
So I have to run it on a single server and don't have any redundancy for 
that in our cluster.

Thanks again
