Server on multiple machines

[andrew at flypublishing.com]

it does a hash on the key.  In ruby I use:

memcache_options = {
   :c_threshold => 10_000,
   :compression => true,
   :debug => false,
   :namespace => 'ANYTHING',
   :readonly => false,
   :urlencode => false
}

memcache_servers = [ 'machine1:8080, machine2:8080' ]

CACHE = MemCache.new(memcache_options)
CACHE.servers = memcache_servers

So CACHE[1] might hit machine1 and CACHE[2] might hit machine2...
