That's my understanding as well. The memcache client determines what server to store it's data on via the hashing process, so then if that server dies, you lose that subset of data.
* Interesting read on Redis & clustering: Smart clients will take persistent connections to many nodes, will cache hashslot -> node info, and will update the table when they receive a -MOVED error. http://redis.io/presentation/Redis_Cluster.pdf <http://www.loomlearning.com/> Jonathan Langevin Systems Administrator Loom Inc.
