I am currently working on a project where the number of menu items is to large to be entered into memcached. I would like to keep the default cache set to using memcached, and have the menu using File based caching or Redis. Currently this is not possible without forking.

Proposal: Add a settings to define which cache block to use.

CMS_MENU_CACHE = 'menu'
CACHES = {
 'default': {
 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
 'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1:11211',
 },
 'menu': {
 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.filebased.FileBasedCache',
 'LOCATION': '/var/tmp/django_cache',
 },
}
