an upgrade would be in order unless security fixes have been

is there any reason for not using a sharedmem cache? while my prod
servers are 1.3.27 on 11.04 and therefore not exactly comparable shm
has worked fine for me there. it also has the nice feature that you
can give it a fixed size after which it will go last-recently-used and
not grow into infinity (which would admitedly be even more fatal with
mem than disk)...

SSLSessionCache shm:logs/ssl_cache(size in bytes)
