Notice: Memcache::get() [function.Memcache-get]: marked server 'IP:11212' as failed

[Jehiah Czebotar]

I believe the problem is that you are hitting the maximum number of
connections, so when the next client tries to connect, it fails and
marks a server as dead

your stats show [curr_connections] => 1016

the default max connections is 1024... from the cmd line help

-c <num>      max simultaneous connections, default is 1024

so you need to start memcached with something like

memcached -c 2048

(or part of the problem may be that you are not pooling connections,
or you are not using persistent connections in your application, but
that's beyond the scope of this answer)
