Unless you have some requirement whereby you want to insist that
domain account logins cannot happen unless the domain controller(s)
can be contacted, then you are better off just leaving the credential
caching alone, IOW if your concern is about the strength of the cache
storage and whether it presents a vulnerability to your environment,
I would not be worried if I were you, the caching is quite strong .
