I realize this is a Memcached list, and this isn't to suggest that Memcached isn't a rock solid cache. However it ought to be noted that other tools/services offer in-memory replication features while working as a drop-in replacement for building your own scalable Memcached architecture.
Redis has master-slave capabilities; CraigsList at one point was built on 40 Redis nodes. [1] Also, if I'm not mistaken, Riak [2], MySQL Cluster [3], and AWS ElastiCache [4] (probably several more: couchdb, cassandra...) all offer more or less what you'd expect from a "memcached cluster". Redis, in particular, is awesome for a variety of reasons. Here is a slideshare I did a while back on Redis.
