libmemcache(3) 1.1.0rc4...

[John McCaskey]

This is awesome Sean.  I've been running very stable for days now under
an extremely high load of around 1million sets/gets per hour.

One thing I'm curious about is that there doesn't seem to be any attempt
to detect a server coming back up, once it goes down its deactivated,
and then its down for good unless I create a new memcache object and
readd the server.

Any plans to add something to detect servers coming back up?  Would this
be something you would accept a patch for if I do it?  To avoid the
performance hit of always checking, I'd be fine with seeing it as a
seperate function that attempts to check each deactivated server that
must be explicitly called when you want to check.
