First off, you shouldn't be using the cache server as the *only* source for
your data, it should duplicated data for fast lookup times and reduced
locks/requests on the source. Therefore, if you take down the server
temporarily and bring it back up, within X requests it should be refilled with
the correct data again.
What I am suggesting is that you *initially* start the server with a bigger max
memory.
Note that if the server is "full", new insertions will succeed and merely kick
out items using LRU. Because the Memcached server does not store the original
copy of the data, you don't lose it because you can always recreate that data
and re-insert it into Memcached.

Hi Avi,
the problem is I don't want to kill the already running daemon (512M),
bcoz many ongoing processes are using that Cached Data, that is why i
started an another daemon with a diff port listening to it with more
memory.
