 * Hi,
 * I try to configure the W3 Total Cache plugin to use it with memcache.
 * The problem is that my memcached server is located on an other server.
 * Where can I change the default memcached server address (default: localhost or
   127.0.0.1) to set it for my configuration?
 * Thanks for your help.

 * The memcached servers for a given cache type become visible when memcached method
   is selected on the general settings tab.

 * You can avoid the warning message (if there is no memcached server running on
   the local server) by changing your method of caching to memcached and unticking
   the “enabled.” Then, after saving those settings, you can edit the memcached 
   servers on the Page and DB caching pages in the config dialog. After you have
   set and tested the memcached servers, then you can return to the main w3 config
   page and enable caching.
