No, the server nodes are all alike and don't need to know about each
other.  The clients need to know about all the servers and they
distribute the data by hashing the keys.  Depending on the hashing
scheme the clients can rebalance the distribution when a node fails
(invalidating some existing data) or continue to fail and use the
backing store for the missing percentage until the node is back on
line.

The server side is packaged for some Linux distributions.  You just
configure the amount of memory for it to use on each node.
