I think that if a librarian run into problems, the thing that must be done is
emptying the cache, that must be done on command line. That's not something for
anyone.
Setting the cache server is also something highly technical, and sysprefs
should be dedicated to library/user-oriented things.
This setting is the same as for the LDAP = that's in koha.conf, not in syspref.
I think we should have as a rule that :
* technical parameters are in koha.xml or httpd.conf
* librarian parameters are in syspreferences

agreed
