<div>Does memcached support failover for the several memcached instances that are run.</div>
<div>Memcached is a global cache where entries of the cached are *uniquely* distributed over a number of memcached instances(servers).</div>
<div>So if there is a strong requirement of having a failover system,would memcached fit in this system? In other words, if a particular memcached server goes down,can those server's keys and values be available on some other running instance?
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Fail over systems generally make redundant entries on different instances of servers.So how can memcached fit in such a model if needed?</div>
