Antirez suggests this: http://antirez.com/post/redis-presharding.html I've implemented a similar scheme with Redis, except also added a replica for every shard. The clients in this case know about all shards and all replicas and do failover themselves. I really like Redis, but once Riak gets secondary indicies, I hope to be able to scrap this big cluster of Redis servers and keep everything in Riak. Redis is really good for being just one of something. You can use it for locks, unique ID generation, etc., but you somehow need to address the failure case.
