Re: --enable-distcache

Hi Philip,

Sifting through a tonne of mail that has been spooling away on the side
for the last few months. In particular, I saw this post of yours w.r.t.
distcache last november, and I didn't see any reply on the list;

FWIW, distcache is available at www.distcache.org, the "dc" session
cache implementation in httpd communicates with distcache tools by
linking with its libs. (Hence the need to enable it in "configure" and
for it to be pre-installed.) You may have already figured this out since
posting, but FWIW.

Cheers,
Geoff
