I'm trying to re-build our server based on CentOS 6.3 and i can't seem to find the distcache rpm. I have it on my 5.8 CentOS:

[root@server]# yum list distcache
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.atlanticmetro.net
Installed Packages
distcache.i386                                     1.4.5-14.1                                     installed
[root@server]# rpm -qi distcache

Summary     : Distributed SSL session cache
Description :
The distcache package provides a variety of functionality for
enabling a network-based session caching system, primarily for
(though not restricted to) SSL/TLS session caching.

I need this package to enable the mod_file_cache.so mod.

I've tried googling without any success..

Thanks!

Distcache was removed from EL6, according to the package manifest. Apparently it was not important enough to warrant a note in the Migration Planning Guide, though from visiting their web site I would guess the most likely reason is that it's ancient and unmaintained and therefore unsupportable. Whatever you're trying to do, it's probably time to look at other options.
