Thanks Vinny, That's a great tip to analyse the success rate, but I was more after "what error is thrown if the memcached service was down", so I can catch the problem and recover. In an other thread I was told PHP environment is on HRD and I don't have to worry about the availability.
Reading this mailing list, I have come across way-too-many issues with services falling apart, so much so I am not confident that they will be running 99.95% (SLA agreement) of the time. I may be just paranoid or maybe looking for a more reliable service.
