I'm planning to use distributed Memcache across a series of Linux web servers on Amazon EC2. These EC2s currently run auto scaling so will increase and decrease with load.
I have used this post to guide the initial setup.
best practice with memcache/php - multi memcache nodes
And another link it references in a reply.

I'm a little unsure on how the web servers local AWS IPs will be updated in the list of nodes within the Memcache client code as and when the servers increase and decrease.
I am currently using PHP PECL - Memcache on the client.
Does anyone know the best implementation to manage this with the AWS environment?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
