What will happen in my case is that sometimes a request will come in and will be "found", while 5 minutes later a request for the same item will come in and not be found.  With my weak python debugging skills I traced it down to trying find that something in cache and it not being there.  I would think that when it's not in cache it would get loaded, but it's almost as if memcached thinks it has the item but doesn't return it.

I didn't test the setup without memcached thoroughly - I just noted that it didn't work either.

I'm just guessing, but could it be a problem with some mapping between a real username and a GUID that at some point expires from a cache? Perhaps the code does not regenerate the mapping? If the usernames and GUIDs are in a directory, they can just be looked up.

Best regards,
