lookupd - name service switch daemon. It gives an ability to use IPC model for different lookup operations (just like nsswitch, but all requests are processed by lookupd daemon), which in turn makes system-wide caching possible. Besides, unlike the nsswitch lookupd can use persistent connections and different other optimizations.
