The whole design of nss-ldapd should be as simple as possible. Implementing caching is also not a top priority and I doubt it will be implemented. I prefer to keep the daemon as simple as possible since there are already plenty of other solutions for caching:

- - nscd (for performance reasons, though limited)
- - nss_updatedb/nss_db (for problems when no LDAP server is reachable)
- - slurpd (or any other replicating solution of full LDAP trees to improve
          redundancy and availablility of LDAP data)

And I prefer simplicity over caching at the moment. This is also the current focus on development on nss-ldapd: try to get rid of more code.
