The memcache extension automatically a memcache save handler for  
php's built-in sessions - set the ini session.save_handler
  param to "memcache".  I haven't tried it yet though.  Anyone used it?

If you want to support a "remember me" session, you'll need to backup  
your active sessions from time to time in case of a server failure or  
reboot.  You'll also need to make sure you have enough memory to  
store all of the currently active sessions.
