Seeking entries from a directory is a process involving network 
resources. It is assumed that a directory is accessed for reading and 
searching data more than for modification purposes. Under such 
assumptions, for performance reasons, a mechanism for caching as a 
proxy  which caches all entries is desirable. This document describes
a mechanism for caching directory entries. 
This document also defines one operational attribute and two controls
required to be implemented for the caching model.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-natarajan-ldapext-cachedresults-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
