+ * One consequence of this that DefineCacheLookup cannot
+ * allocate a new structure as it cannot know the size.
+ * Notice that the "INIT" code fragment is quite different
+ * from other caches.  When auth_domain_lookup might be
+ * creating a new domain, the new domain is passed in
+ * complete and it is used as-is rather than being copied into
