That sounds like a similar setup to what I'm working on.

I'm building the frontend on the Zend Framework and using its Zend_Cache API to 
cache individual objects.  I'm presently using file caching in my testing 
environment, but once we go to production, I'll likely switch that to 
Memcached.  It's really easy to switch using the API (it just requires changing 
a line or two of code).  I'm really happy with the framework.

Do you have a dedicated Memcached server?

Are you serving up your front-end HTML views directly with Fedora, or is there 
some other software between the Internet and your Fedora service?

We have a  Django-based frontend for submissions and administration, with 
Fedora 3.x on the backend. There is an intermediate layer of memcached which I 
use to cache object retrieval for display purposes, so that every request 
doesn't have to fetch the data from Fedora again. Is working pretty well in 
testing so far, but we are certainly not anticipating any massive loads at this 
point in time.

I'm curious what sort of experiences anyone has had working with Fedora 3.* in 
a high traffic situation.

Searching through the commons, I found this post:

http://fedora-commons.org/confluence/display/FCKB/mail/8750419

which was posted back in 2004.  Has anyone put Fedora 3.* through any similar 
benchmarks?

It's not that I anticipate any serious traffic, but I've been considering using 
some sort of caching (possibly Memcached) for some of our public collections 
just in case.  I'm just trying to ascertain how necessary this is.
