I understand.  As I understand things, fresh data will be fetched if
it attempts a mount from cached data which fails.  The most
significant implication of this is that you cannot smoothly migrate
from one server to another by making a copy and then changing the LDAP
map; the clients won't stop using the old server as long as they can
still mount from it.

Not a big deal as long as you know about it.

No problem.  I'm always happy to test things out; are these patches
available anywhere?
