CRC32(key) % N where N is the number of servers is an OK way to partition keys among multiple servers, but it's not as good as consistent hashing as far as flexibility goes. For example, what if a server dies or we want to add a new one?

The Ruby client for Redis supports things like this. What about Node.JS? :)
