I briefly pondered that. DNS already has opportunities for caching
external to ldirectord: you can run a local caching resolver with
appropriate TTLs or you can run nscd. It seems like a lot of added
complexity for something which could be solved already in another way.
I suspect any site requiring the level of control this option provides
will have the ability and experience to know how to handle the DNS
lookup problem via a local caching resolver or nscd. If this option
isn't enabled it becomes a non-issue as the DNS code never gets called.
