Normal Servers Farm Backup Servers Farm
Details- get gets command goes to normal servers farm. If one server failed, magent will try read from backup servers farm
- If get gets command had multi keys, magent will walk every key one by one as above.
- delete incr decr add set replace prepend append cas command goes to both normal servers farm and backup servers fram at the same time
- When client disconnected from magent, magent will keep connections to servers farm instead of close them.
- One great advantage of n-servers ketama is that only 1/n portion keys reallocate when one server was added/removed from ketama.
Suggestions- run magent on the same server which client runs. client connects to 127.0.0.1, which is faster

If you add this to magent.c
#ifndef SSIZE_MAX #define SSIZE_MAX ((~((size_t) 0)) / 2) #endif
memagent will build on mac os x. Not sure why SSIZE_MAX is undefined in the first place, but this is a working fix.
On linux, the SSIZE_MAX is defined in limits.h add #include <limits.h> in magent.c
