Partial Flush?

[John Kramlich]

Sam,

If the different domains do not share the same dataset I would recommend 
simply running an instance of the memcache dameon for each domain.  Just 
give them all their own unique port number.  This gives you the benefit 
that a flush on one site will not effect the others.
