Hmm. Not that I know of. Afaik, the memcache server itself is standalone.
Yes, that's the point - there's no constraint on how many you have and they don't need to replicate (but they also aren't reliable for persistence)
Any distributed magic happens at the client level via some circular hashing voodoo or sharding pixie dust. Keep the client mojo and swap memcached for redis.
The distribution works because it is strictly key/value so the key hashing is all you need. But, it also works because someone has spent a lot of time making it work reasonably when some of the servers fail. You'd have to repeat that work for anything else and then it still probably wouldn't cache better than memcache.
