        <classname>Zend_Application_Resource_Cachemanager</classname> may be
        utilised to configure a set of <classname>Zend_Cache</classname> option
        bundles for use when lazy loading caches using
        <classname>Zend_Cache_Manager</classname>
    </para>

    <para>
        As the Cache Manager is a lazy loading mechanism, the options are translated
        to option templates used to instantiate a cache object on request.

        <para>
            Below is a sample <acronym>INI</acronym> file showing how
            <classname>Zend_Cache_Manager</classname> may be configured. The format
            is the Cachemanager resource prefix (<property>resources.cachemanager</property>)
            followed be the name to assign to an option cache template or bundle (e.g.
            <property>resources.cachemanager.database</property>) and finally followed by a
            typical <classname>Zend_Cache</classname> option.

            Actually retrieving this cache from the Cache Manager is as simple as
            accessing an instance of the Manager and calling
            <command>$cacheManager->getCache('database');</command>.
