Yikes, my server is certainly asymmetric:

    node distances:
    node   0   1
      0:  10  21
      1:  21  10

and my Debian Squeeze certainly knows that:

    $ cat <  /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode
    1

Server specs:

I have 12 2GB DDR3 DIMs.

Of course, my home server is ridiculously idle too.  :-)
