Is nginx able to work with multiple memcached servers and therefore correctly hashes the key to pick a server from the cluster?

By default, nginx will round-robin requests to multiple backend memcached servers - which is probably not the behavior you want.

Evan Miller implemented an optional module which hashes the key to pick a server from the cluster. You can read about it here:
