Should this be a config option for the memcached driver, instead of 
hard coded? I had implemented it as a config option locally.

Support for multiple servers can be coded into the SessionHandler code. 
  I took
a crack at it last night and it seems to work, except for if multiple servers
are specified and a server is down, so I've got at least one bug somewhere,
maybe more :)
