Interesting.  I'll have to think about how I could do something similar,
since I'm not using LDAP as a directory service.

With regard to disabling memcached, one of the few responses I got back to
my queries regarding memcached is that it's not possible to disable:

In my case, I'm not sure the GUID generation would change the situation
substantially because I already have calendars with GUIDs assigned.  What
will happen in my case is that sometimes a request will come in and will be
"found", while 5 minutes later a request for the same item will come in and
not be found.  With my weak python debugging skills I traced it down to
trying find that something in cache and it not being there.  I would think
that when it's not in cache it would get loaded, but it's almost as if
memcached thinks it has the item but doesn't return it.
