The client you're using only supports two of those  
options, :namespace and :readonly

cache = MemCache.new :namespace => 'bekar_data'
cache.servers = '...'

begin
   cache['my_key'] = '3232'
rescue MemCache::MemCacheError => e
   puts e.message
   p cache
   # Huh, I thought I had an accessor for this
   p cache.instance_variable_get(:@servers)
end
