Memcache connection errors

[Kamran Nisar]

yepsh it was a zero packet lost, the packtes sent is exactly equal to
packets recvd....

have tried it with apache and memcache running on local machines as well..
still got random errors !!

under normal conditions, apache and memcached are running on dedicated
servers, both are 64 bit AMD athlon with the apache machine having 2 GB of
RAM and the memcached one having 4 GB...
the output of uname -a on apache and memcache machine is as

memcache:
Linux mem1.mysite.com 2.6.14.3.dn2.64 #4 SMP Sun Dec 25 19:45:33 EST 2005
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
with libevent-1.1a

apache:
Linux web1.mysite.com  2.6.16.14 #1 SMP Tue May 9 01:23:27 EDT 2006 i686
athlon i386 GNU/Linux
with  php-5.0.4, and memcache client memcache-2.0.1 (was using 1.5 earlier,
upgraded to 2.0.1 during this process.....)

 (for all the people who asked for the switch config, i have asked the
tech-support to mail me the switch sepcifications.. as i do not have the
model number with me atm as well :$ .. i will be posting the details about
it as well i get it... )

since i am using ab to generate the hits.. the load eventually rises as ab
generates more and more requests  (i am usualy running it a concurrency rate
of 200+)... no susbstantial change on the memcached server though..
