This discussion is getting pretty troubling. What's the issue exactly? 
Why is it not recommended to use memcached and how come it is used 
(apparently successfully) by high traffic sites?

As an aside does anybody have experience with Zend Data Cache? We have 
several high profile sites running on Zend Server and it would be easy 
to develop a CF backend for using Zend Data Cache. Any opinions?

Cheers
