Is there any way to cache authentication info in memory? If OpenSER
cannot do this, do you know if SER has this ability? I'm only
concerned with registrations and authentication right now. I don't
need features or user preference from a DB.

I really just want my SER/OpenSER system to be able to survive a MySQL failure.
I'm totally open to other suggestion or possibilities as well.
