Clients (that I know of) will not "automatically" redistribute keys if a server goes down. It's usually only if you explicitly edit their configuration to remove the server. If a server goes down, you'll just get cache misses from that server until it comes back up again. This works on the assumption that servers that have gone down "unexpectedly" are only going to be temporary. Dean.
