- the idea of the optional dual daemon mode is ot prevent slow domain
- responses from clagging up the rest of the system. When in dual
- daemon mode winbindd always responds to requests from cache if the
- request is in cache, and if the cached answer is stale then it asks
- the "dual daemon" to update the cache for that request

+ * We fork a child per domain to be able to act non-blocking in the main

+ * slow replying with a 10.000 user list should not hold up netlogon calls
+ * that can be handled locally.
