Question

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

Kyle,

This is actually a great question for the list.  I don't know any
technical details about MediaTemple's grid architecture, other than what's
on their marketing pages (which isn't too technical).

Anybody know more about MediaTemple and what it'd take for them to let
users run memcached?
