Yes, noreply is supported starting with memcached 1.2.5.

Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) is still limited to some smaller value,
likely 1500 bytes.  Though it's possible to increase it up to 64KB,
doing so will likely have strong negative effect on your network.  In
other words, better to leave it as is, and deal with multiple packets,
or switch back to TCP.  If you are trying to save on TCP connection
establishing, it would be better to think about ways to cache and
reuse the connection.
