Once Openstack moves from RappitMQ to 0MQ, this might really 
get interesting; but for now the simpicity of the pipebackend-API 
is just the complexity I can handle :-D

ATM, it's a POC; if it works and is not obsoleted by upstream
improvements, it might be developed into something more performant/

Caching is now completely skewed the other way; backend is called for 
every single request, even if scopebits and ttl would allow for caching.
This might produce lots of unneccesary load in the backend, making it 
neccessary to do deploy more intricate caching strategies already there :-/
And not needing to care (too much) about caching was exactly the main 
reason for me to go with a backend instead of a complete nameserver..

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Sebastian
