Document: Base
Comment type: T
Priority: 2
Section: 2.5.3 Redirector Agents
Rationale/Explanation of issue:
jc> Can a server that received a redirect cache the result (e.g. based on 
realm+application)?

pc> yes, and this should probably be discussed in the base draft.

jc> additional info: what should be the key for the cache? 
realm+application only? What if the redirect was based on some other 
information? What if the redirector acts as a load balancer? I'm personally 
against caching (unless the redirector explicitly allows it maybe?). If 
caching is allowed, there should be guidelines for expiration.

Requested change:
Text to be added for clarification.
