hm.  there can only be read-cacheing of the WINS entries in the LDAP
database for practical reasons.  so it's not so much a matter of "sent
back" in this particular instance. 

direct answer: yes.

hm.  i suppose i was kind of thinking of a "proprietary" database system,
where it didn't have some form of replication, such that
read-and-write-cacheing could be done (e.g the wins.dat mechanism).

good point, chris.
