This is actually a pretty cool idea.  The tricky bit would be getting  
Hibernate Search to work nicely with this, since MIMECacheEntry values  
would have to be indexed separately from any other types.  But it  
shouldn't be too hard all the same.

Here is one monkey wrench: collections containing both client objects  
as well as MIMECacheEntries?  :-)  Or is that just insane?
