It's probably also worth to think about a mechanism to explicitly set pcache to "offline" mode. That way on a client machine a hook could be provided for e.g. NetworkManager to bring pcache to offline mode immediately when the network goes offline. That mechanism could either be offered through back-config (back-monitor as for readonly?) and/or through the nssov Socket as that would most probably be the main user of this disconnected pcache mode. > Also, when connectivity is restored, pcache should explicitly refresh all > the entries it currently holds, rather than allowing them to be immediately > expired.
