Before continuing down the Memcached path in ZF, it’s important to get a picture of how caching is implemented with Zend_Cache. With Zend_Cache, you must configure a frontend “strategy” (Zend_Cache_Frontend) and a backend “engine” (Zend_Cache_Backend). Each caching object must have a backend and a frontend.
Read on for an overview on how to use Zend_Cache with Memcached or any other supported backend cache.

In such a case I cannot expose an invoice by its id. www.example.com/invoices/123 could return multiple invoices from multiple shards. Am I missing anything here?
The following post contains some helpful strategies for implementing a distributed primary keys.
