What about this unanswered request ?
I think many of us using some database (ie. MySQL or LDAP) would really
like to have authdaemond make use of the fact that he's persistant.
When it comes to tens or hundreds of queries per second, having some
caching would save us some serious load on the database server(s).
Another great benefit of a caching engine would be that DoS'ing the
database by hammering the services with authentification requests would
become a lot more difficult.
