After the recent thread and reading some comments on the memcached wiki I think I know what is wrong. People see the word distributed and think it means replicated.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/distribute says:

distribute:
1 : to divide among several or many
2 : to spread out so as to cover something : scatter
3 : to divide or separate especially into kinds
4 : to use in or as an operation so as to be mathematically distributive

POW! memcached (the solution, not the daemon) satisfies all of these definitions to a tee.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/replicate says:

replicate:
produce a replica of itself

This is not what memcached is or does. Never claimed to.
