We use memcached to store items fetched from a slow service, not from
database. 
Performance difference between this service and memcached are huge.
May be really convenient to have an HA feature on memcached servers.

We've introduced libketama consistant hashing to reduce effects on server
faults but 
it will be useful to have a redundant caching system between servers to be
really fault toulerant.
