Open Stack

It might not be the best idea ever, but it worked for me. There's a
memcached patch called repcached that allows you to have 2 memcached
servers sincronized (as far as I now, it just works for 2 servers) with
each other, this way you get HA and LB. The patch source is
https://github.com/usecide/repcached/blob/master/repcached-2.3.1-1.4.13.patch
and
here you've got a little example
http://viviendolared.blogspot.com.ar/2014/01/memcached-replicado-en-ubuntu-1204-lts.html
running
on Ubuntu 12.04 (sorry about the spanish link, but the steps are pretty
straight forward).
