Just to reassure those who are assuming this must be a very expensive
use of memcached, I can say from experience that with a single instance
running on a linux box with a mere 10M of memory assigned, we aggregate
information on about 20 pools and several hundred machines at a rate of
10-15K operations per second, and have never gotten close to capacity.
Would anyone else be interested in this? Or is this too far off the
beaten path? It is mostly helpful for very busy sites. Thanks.

I think we (at least me) would like to see what you've done. At the
least get more insight into what you had to change to accomplish this
(and which java client you used).
I've seen a few other folks on the list (and off list) mention they use
memcached in a similar way. It's not out of line at all.
