>Description:
	As HTTP is a relatively stateless protocol, each request generates an 
	authentication attempt. While this is cheap when authenticating against dbm or 
	htpasswd files, it can get very expensive when running against a Windows 
	domain controller, ACE server, or other networked database, particularly on 
	image-rich pages and FancyIndexes from mod_autoindex.

	mod_authenticache provides a secure method of caching credentials in order to 
	more efficiently serve in these situations.
