Is memcached a good way to store session share ammong web servers?

[Evert|Rooftop]

The best possible situation is:

* don't let sessions expire
* only update memcached and the database when session information is 
updated (so record what the sessiondata was on the beginning of the script)
* read session data from memcached.. if it isn't there, use the database

But yea.. this will only work for non-expiring sessions. If you need 
your sessions to timeout in a while, its harder because you need to keep 
updating the databaseserver with the last request time..
