Comment(by Desoxy):

 I have changed the patch to use CACHED instead of CACHE[1]. You can pull
 the changes directly from the bug-8596 branch of [2]. The changes to the
 control spec[3] are in the bug-8596 branch, also on github.[4]

 One thing to consider before putting this into 0.2.4: When a mapaddress
 command is issued or when a host is automapped, it will also include the
 "CACHED" flag. If you do not want that, you could omit the "CACHED" flag
 if expiry is "NEVER".
