 Cache:
-   Assume you want to configure stuff one host ("monitor node"),
-   depending on the configuration of other hosts ("cluster nodes").
+   - add example how to use 
+   - export variable $__cache
+      -> for current host
+      -> add function to cdist-config, import from cdist-cache
 
-   For instance, the monitor host would like to know,
-   which hosts are configured with the provider
-   "apache" and option --start true.
 
-   This requires the monitor node to be able to
-   query all other configured nodes. It can't
-   ask for all hosts, because cdist does not
-   know which hosts are configured or may exist.
-
-   Example implementation
-
-   If cdist keeps ("caches") the configuration of every
-   node it configures, each new node can query the
-   cache for existing nodes that acquired the given
-   configuration.
+remove --preseed from package_apt and add debconf_set_selection or similar
+   -> much cleaner!
