memcached OPT_BINARY_PROTOCOL doesnt "temporary disable" gone servers, directly marks them as dead and DEAD_TIMEOUT doesnt trigger at all

[duronrulez]

This is the config. Important lines are at the top

\Memcached::OPT_BINARY_PROTOCOL => true,
\Memcached::OPT_AUTO_EJECT_HOSTS => true,
\Memcached::OPT_DEAD_TIMEOUT => 5,
\Memcached::OPT_REMOVE_FAILED_SERVERS => true,
\Memcached::OPT_SERVER_FAILURE_LIMIT => 2,


\Memcached::OPT_LIBKETAMA_COMPATIBLE => true,
\Memcached::OPT_RETRY_TIMEOUT => 1,
\Memcached::OPT_TCP_NODELAY => true,
\Memcached::OPT_SERIALIZER => \Memcached::SERIALIZER_IGBINARY,
\Memcached::OPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE => true,
\Memcached::OPT_COMPRESSION => true,
\Memcached::OPT_NO_BLOCK => true,
\Memcached::OPT_DISTRIBUTION => \Memcached::DISTRIBUTION_CONSISTENT,

Basically im struggling to make binary protocol working with temporarily gone servers.
I dont really care for binary protocol perse, but disabling binary protocol craps out other functionality and requests start returning not stored for whatever reason ....
