Transparent failover and restore?

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

Guys,

If you want to use memcached as a data store instead of a /cache/, then
use MySQL Cluster:

   http://www.mysql.com/cluster/

It was designed for that, doing the whole redundant storage and two-phase
commit thing, while memcached was designed to be a cache.
