Hello list, I was wondering if someone can provide some insight into how django interacts with memcached. More specifically, how it interacts with multiple memcached instances.
My settings.py has this in it: CACHE_BACKEND = 'memcached:// 10.1.1.1:11211;10.1.1.2:11213;10.1.1.3:11213/' I'm assuming that requests are round-robin'd between the three addresses. How does django behave if one of the memcached servers goes down? What's the failover time for django to realise that it's trying to talk to a non-responsive server? Would it be beneficial to make the memcached cluster HA by using a virtual IP daemon like wackamole [1]? In this case django would never see a dead memcached instance, but it might be directed to a different physical box on each subsequent request. I could see this being a problem if the cache requests are somehow tied into the address of the memcached instance being queried. Thanks in advance, Matt Bennett.
