Keep Getting Connection Timeout

[dormando]

Hey,

Check your local firewall (iptables/etc) setup. I've been seeing a 
number of reports recently where people max out their iptables state 
table and get connections dropped (which appear as timeouts since the 
firewall doesn't sent resets when it runs out of state entries?).

Increasing the state entries or bypassing the firewall for memcached 
usually fixes it. See your friendly iptables tutorials on how to try 
this out.
