We are very interested in hearing about this too, definitely what operations 
will happen in the directory.  Listening in on the PACCMAN call today, I am 
not sure the caching described will solve our problems.  Our users expect 
that when they make a change to a group in a small period of time (did not 
want to use the word real-time), will see that change in LDAP.  Most if not 
all of our applications today go against the directory and probably in the 
future will continue to do so.  Our hope is for the incremental provisioning 
to LDAP as opposed to what exists in LDAPPCNG.  We have a large number of 
groups > 40K and a number of them have memberships in the 30K vicinity.

Thanks JimmyV
