So long as you don't make the mistake of thinking the memcache is the  
session store, this is fine. Either a session to be retrieved exists  
in memcache or it's retrieved from the DB and stuffed into memcache.  
But that cache is exactly what it says - it's not a guaranteed or  
persistent store.
