Another approach is to set the reload-count value to 'unlimited'.  I
am not sure if this should be done in addition to or just instead of
increasing the ttl values.  Until it is well known how to configure
laptops for disconnected operation, I suspect it is best to provide a
simple way to replace nscd.conf instead of changing the default
values.

Happy hacking,
