Hmmm... sounds odd. Given the same memcached servers (config), the
hashing should be consistent.
FYI, all code for the experiments described in that tech report is in
cloud9, the library I use for teaching my courses. Download at:

Hope this helps! (Let me know off list if you need more details)

Thanks, Jimmy! This paper does exactly describe my problem.
I started working to implement the memcached solution you describe,
and I've run into a small problem. I've described it on the
spymemcached forum:
http://groups.google.com/group/spymemcached/browse_thread/thread/7b4d82bca469ed20
Essentially, it seems the keys are being hashed inconsistently by
spymemcached across runs. This, of course, will result in
inconsistent/invalid results.
Did you guys run into this? Since I'm new to memcached, I'm hoping
that this is simply something I don't understand or am overlooking.
