Memcached module opens one connection per request

Server NGINX

While testing out the nginx memcached module, I noticed that it opens
a new connection to memcached for each request. Is there a way to make
nginx reuse a single connection? This makes load testing complicated
since the nginx machine quickly runs out of ephemeral ports.

No, nginx does not support persistent connections to backends.
