Hello,

I'm currently in the process of evaluating nginx as an alternative for a apache setup. With apache I am using the SSL session caching based on distcache with memcached as backend interface. In nginx I have not found anything comparable. Well, there exists SSL session caching but only on a worker/process basis.

Are there any patches to support a "cluster" wide - i.e. with several servers - caching of the SSL session data?

nginx supports SSL session cache shared between workers:

ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;

However, with nginx you may use long keep-alive connections and less number of hosts as compared to Apache setup.
