Currently nginx does not cache at all. I plan to add in near future.

The ngx_http_memcached_module will be extended.
Currently it can be used as:

     server {

         location / {
             memcached_pass   name:11211;
             error_page       404  /fallback;
         }

         location = /fallback {
             proxy_pass       backend;
         }

The backend should set data to the memcached.
The memcached key is "/uri?args".
