	I've been thinking about this for a little while.  I don't know how  
valuable it is.  I've been thinking about adding a mode in my client  
that would do this.

	Basically, it'd be easy to broadcast invalidation messages for all  
servers in a cluster before issuing a mutation command.  Especially  
so when using UDP.

	This would drive up the load on the server, and give the client more  
work to do as well, so it'd be most important where you keep items  
for a long time and don't trust your memcached servers to run for  
very long.
