Just for interests sake..have a look at repcached ( http://repcached.sourceforge.net/) which has a number of features including replication. Another alternative to memcached is SQLCached ( http://sqlcached.sourceforge.net) which has similar purpose to memcached but allows one to manipulate data using SQL.
