If it becomes a problem, we have to take another look. The problem
I am working on is mountd. The Linux mountd does many DNS calls 
for each mount/umount request. When it gets many mount/umount request,
those DNS calls slow it down. Of course, we can put those clients in
/etc/hosts. But I like to see if nscd will help.
