Repcached (failover doesn't seem to work)

Been working on the replication of sessions. i downloaded and installed memcached+repcached. now i have no problem replicating data across the two servers while they're both up and running and i have Confirmed this via telnet (telnet 127.0.0.1 11211)

However, when in php environment, there does seem to be an issue once one of the machines goes down.

I have the memcache.allow_failover=1 set in the memcache.ini.

I decided not to change the php.ini. i am using the ini_set function to set the save_path and the save handler. I also have an instance of memcached (repcache patched) on each of the servers. When I take down server1, I keep getting a php Warning (apache error log) and the browser sits there waiting for it's memcached server to come back up and at this point it seems like it's not re-routing the memcache storage to the other server. even though all the session data is actually being replicated. (is there a master slave issue?)

PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (memcached). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (127.0.0.1:11211,191.168.100.4:11211) in Unknown on line 0,

Server 1

$cache_servers = array(
        "127.0.0.1:11211",
        "192.168.100.3:11211"
    );
    ini_set('session.save_handler', 'memcached');
    ini_set('session.save_path', implode(',', $cache_servers));

/usr/local/bin/memcached -u nobody -p 11211 -m 64 -x 192.168.100.4 -vv

Server 2

    $cache_servers = array(
        "127.0.0.1:11211",
        "192.168.100.4:11211",
    );
    ini_set('session.save_handler', 'memcached');
    ini_set('session.save_path', implode(',', $cache_servers));

/usr/local/bin/memcached -u nobody -p 11211 -m 64 -x 192.168.100.3 -vv

If i've got the concept wrong or whatever it is, please help. Thank you in advance.

It seems you are using memcached extension, but changing memcache options. They are different!

memcacheD extension up to version 2 doesn't support failover. Either use memcache extension or upgrade memcacheD to version 2.0 (though it is still in beta).
