lookupd
Now that my eyes have rolled back into their sockets...
I find it amusing when people whip out complex and time consuming solutions for problems that don't really exist -- just because they existed in UNIX-world and they know a few tricks.
lookupd has its own sophisticated caching mechanism. Here's the first two paragraphs from the man pages:
The lookupd daemon acts as an information broker and cache. It is called by various routines in the System framework to find information about user accounts, groups, printers, e-mail aliases and distribution lists, computer names, Internet addresses, and several other kinds of information. lookupd keeps a cache of recently located items to improve system performance. It also implements a search strategy used to find information from the many information sources that are potentially available to a computer. These include the Domain Name System (DNS), Sun Microsystem's Network Information Services (NIS), Apple's NetInfo system, and a set of files found in the /etc directory. X.500-style databases that implement the schema described in RFC 2307 may be accessed using the LDAP protocol. |
