This should do what you want, unless the field has embedded null  
characters in it.  (Typical of BLOB data.)  In that case, either keep  
it in String form, as that has better copy semantics, or do the copy  
this way:

	String blob(clusters[i]["servers"]);
	string servers(blob.data(), blob.length());
