[nycphp-talk] Securing memcached

Based on the buzz about how great memcached is, I'm considering using
it to provide session support across multiple front ends. But I'm a
little troubled by the lack of application-level access control. As
in, no passwords.

If you use memcached, how do you secure it against unauthorized access
by some other application?

Do you use some sort of TCP wrapper? Do you sign or encrypt values?

Or are firewall rules the only answer?
