failover not really working about dalli HOT 3 CLOSED

That's a lot of issues in one comment. I mostly agree with your requests.

Dalli SHOULD only try to connect once per second. When a production system is calling memcached 100s of times per second, you cannot afford to wait 10 minutes for what might have been a temporary network hiccup. Once per second is, in my view, a reasonable trade off as long as Dalli is not filling your logs with errors.

Could you give me the exact output of what you are seeing?

The problem seems to be that dalli tries to get the version only once when dalli/ the servers are setup (Server#initialize). If a server is down, dalli somehow messes up so thar the whole app fails on each request.

I think it'd be better to move the code to detect the version from initialize to up!. This would also make dalli to redetect the version in case a server was shutdown and back up again (ex after an upgrade of the server).

I saw the code for the once per second (it's not very accurate because you simple check the second and dont take into account at which time you are within this second), but it should be easy to enhance this.

I'll also try to move the main connect code out of #connection and out it into #connect.

I hope to submit pull requests shortly :)
