This sounds fine.  I still just not understanding the reasoning behind
populating the cache with dummy entries.  (I do think that being able to
populate it from a file could be useful to initially load the cache in fairly
static configurations.)

I should note that the cache flushes old entries after it performs a full
update.  So if these are entries that you want to remain in the cache after an
update, additional changes of the cache would be required.
