Radiator's AuthBy NTLM does not cache, so the closest thing to Radiator 
would be parts of samba that ntlm_auth talks to. The AD environments 
I've used for testing have been simple and I do not recall noticing 
propagation delay.

A quick web search indicates propagation delays after password resets 
between servers are not unheard-of.

Thanks,
