 It is good, but it must be controlled. Also people put some efforts to 
 improve it...
 Before i did custom patch to "trash" the cache, but after cache 
 improved i should rewrite it. If required, i can make cache behavior 
 changeable (on,off,flush ?).
 Will it help for you too?

 I think ifindex is good anyway, because sometimes it is better to refer 
 to specific ppp interface by ifindex.
