You can choose your distribution method by setting
MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_DISTRIBUTION

The possible values are :
MEMCACHED_DISTRIBUTION_MODULA
MEMCACHED_DISTRIBUTION_CONSISTENT or
MEMCACHED_DISTRIBUTION_CONSISTENT_KETAMA (exactly the same)

MODULA uses the modulo to distribute the keys.
CONSISTENT uses the consistent hashing (ketama).

I let you have a look on the internet if you want to understand better
how they work.
