So, some people have been asking about memcache for Drupal 6 and my personal modules have been neglected, but meanwhile I decided to come up with something new.

Let me introduce you to Cache Router. http://drupal.org/project/cacherouter

From the project page:

"CacheRouter is a caching system for Drupal allowing you to assign individual cache tables to specific cache technology. CacheRouter also utilizes the page_fast_cache part of Drupal in order to reduce the amount of resources needed for serving pages to anonymous users."

hi,

i just submitted a simple patch to try to get the ball rolling on memcache support for drupal 6.

has anyone else started on this? is anyone interested on collaborating on updating the memcache module for drupal 6?

cheers

Hi all. I've been working on a new project called Advcache (Advanced Cache) which is a package of caching patches (and a controller module) for Drupal 5. It allows you to cache many things which don't get cached normally, and is intended to increase the performance of Drupal sites, especially for authenticated users. Current caching targets include nodes, comments, taxonomy (trees, terms, vocabularies and node-term bindings), paths, search queries, and forums.

The Drupal Memcache API and Integration module has reached beta 1 and is ready for testing. This module provides all the tools you need to use memcache as the cache backend for Drupal. It features the ability to cluster memcache servers so that your cache's memory pool can grow indefinitely, and allows you to assign bins to these clusters so that session information can go to one cluster, page cache to another, and views or cck cache to yet another. This gives you total control over your network layout. There is also a new admin module which will eventually allow you to reset your cache, configure bins/clusters and servers, and view usage statistics. Right now it only provides the statistics. You need the memcache PECL extension to run this module.
