<dd>This makes use of the <a href="http://www.distcache.org/">distcache</a>
distributed session caching libraries.</dd>

high-performance, distributed memory object caching system.</dd>

+ <dt>const char *create(ap_socache_instance_t **instance, const char *arg,
+ apr_pool_t *tmp, apr_pool_t *p);</dt>
+ <dd>Create a session cache based on the given configuration string.
+ The instance pointer returned in the instance paramater will be

+ server_rec *s, apr_pool_t *pool)</dt>
+ <dd>Initialize the cache. The cname must be of maximum length 16
+ characters, and uniquely identifies the consumer of the cache
+ within the server; using the module name is recommended, e.g.
+ "mod_ssl-sess". This string may be used within a filesystem
+ path so use of only alphanumeric [a-z0-9_-] characters is
+ recommended. If hints is non-NULL, it gives a set of hints for
+ the provider. Return APR error code.</dd>
