Yes, this is precisely what I had in mind, too.
I found the relevant post:
From: Michael Bushkov <bushman@rsu.ru>
List-Id: Technical Discussions relating to FreeBSD
<freebsd-hackers.freebsd.org>
Subject: Re[2]: nscd for freebsd
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2003 17:43:06 +0400
It seems that the person in the CC was involved in the first
