Any idea how i can increase the default memcache > timeout for the php client Memcache? I forget offhand :/ if it's not listed in pecl.php.net/memcache then you're a little SOL. Are you on version 3.x or version 2.x? (I might've missed this from earlier in the thread). I've heard rumors of random connect failures in 3.x. Also, your network might be experiencing a really low rate of packet loss. If you can change the timeout, set it to 2 seconds for a while.. if you still get random timeouts, set it to 4 seconds (higher than the SYN retry). If it never fails or almost never fails at 4 seconds then you have some packet loss that might be fixable. It should never take memcached longer than a few ms to set up a new connection, so anything worse than that usually means the box is hosed (swapping) or the network is hosed (maxed, packet loss, etc).
