IMO, if you rely this heavily on the cache existing then it is no longer 
a cache and memcached is not the proper tool.  And I am not saying this 
to be a smart ass.  We came to the same decision and moved much of the 
data we previously had in memcached to MySQL Cluster.

We still use memcached to cache content and data, but the system must be 
able to survive without it.  It runs better with memcached in the mix, 
but it still runs quite well if disaster happens and memcached is empty.
