Yes,  I use DNS Made Easy for this use:

1) Create an A Record for each Memcached server with the SAME name
memcached.domain.com
2) Create an A Record for each Memcached server with a UNIQUE name
memcache.00.domain.com

Then do:

$ dig +short memcache.domain.com  # This returns -->
10.0.0.1
10.0.0.2
10.0.0.3
...

This gets the list of Memcache servers by IP,  You can also use the
"unique" names for DNS Access.
Or just use the Ip values as you like.

As I add more server to "Scale-Up" the DIG command just returns more
addresses.  So the idea scales.

The A records as DNSMadeEasy can be updated with DDNS API calls.

I like the performance,  but have had issues with DNS performance.
I just wanted feedback as to other system level users do this "scale-
up" operation in production.
Pushing new code works for some users.  But lacks a dynamic update for
OPs needs.
