	How often do these things change?  If they don't change frequently,  
you may be better off keeping an LRU of those locally on each node  
and having a separate cache invalidation protocol.

	Although, adding a cache invalidation protocol to memcached itself  
could be interesting.  Perhaps connect on a different port and have  
keys streaming to you as they mutate.  Has anyone considered such a  
thing?
