Hi, We recently hit a bottleneck accessing a memcached server from Django on a big site. To solve it, I created two-level cache with a local cache on each Django box, and a global cache on the memcached machines.
Under the sort of loads we were seeing, this dramatically reduced the load on the memcached servers. Best of all, it's a one line change to existing code using Django's cache framework. I've released the code here: https://gist.github.com/953524 in case it's useful to anyone else. Some more background here: http://attentionshard.wordpress.com/2011/04/03/scaling-to-30k-two-level-caches/ Hope this helps someone.
