Why share the cache and not the databases? That way you will almost
never benefit from sharing information. Most email is spam and
most spammers will not contact all your MTAs.

As described in memcache_table(5), section "backup":
NOTE 2: In the case of a proxied database, the full database
name (including the "proxy:" prefix) must be specified in the
proxymap server's proxy_read_maps or proxy_write_maps setting
(depending on whether the access is read-only or read-write).
