I'm using Apache 1.33 and FreeBSD 5.3. Sure, if you go to the distcache download page (see www.distcache.org) you can grab the "support-apache1.3-modssl" package which contains an explanatory README and a patch to mod_ssl. The "distcache" package itself provides the underlying libraries and tools this depends on, and also has reasonable information in the README. The support-apache1.3-modssl package hooks into mod_ssl 2.8.16, which in turn should hook into any appropriate 1.* apache release. Hmm, just noticed that modssl is now up to 2.8.22, and 2.8.16 was only known to work with apache 1.3.29 ... damn. :-( The hooks are extremely minor and so the 2.8.16 patch may very well just patch into newer mod_ssl's without change, especially considering mod_ssl has been in purely maintenance mode since it got moved to apache2. But if the patch needs updating, please let us know; if you succeed in fixing it yourself we'd love a copy :-), otherwise we'll know that one of us has to go in and update things when we find time. If you're not using mod_ssl (eg. if you're using Ben Laurie's module), then you'd need to ask someone to hook it up. distcache exposes a pretty straightforward API and openssl has a pretty straightforward way to plug in session caching callbacks.
