I wanted to do exactly the same thing recently, so did a bit of
patching. The resulting patch (against 1.1.5) is attached. Be warned,
I've not had a chance to do much testing on this yet.
The way it works is by changing the way the server command line
parameter is treated. If the server name begins with a "/" it assumes a
lookup table (otherwise it behaves as before.) The table is a
BerkeleyDB hash with the username as the key and the server name as the
value (both null terminated strings.)
Rather obviously, since it uses a BerkeleyDB hash, you need to have the
BerkeleyDB libraries to build it (I'm using version 3, but the others
will probably work the same.)
Chris.

I have an alternate implementation which involves a similar mechanism to
the access control and command control scripts. I have called it
"translation program". The principle is that new -t option is added with
an argument to a script to run.
In the same way as the CCP and ACP scripts, various info is passed into
the trp through environment variables. However unlike ACP & CCP, the
results are sent back by send the lines "variable=value" to the stdout.
The four variables accepted are:-
PROXY_SERVERNAME - new server to connect to
PROXY_SERVERLOGIN - new login name to use
PROXY_SERVERPASSWD - new password to use
PROXY_SERVERPORT - new port to use
I enclose a sample trp script and the patch to make this happen. Let me
know if it is of interest.

Hmm, I like your approach far better than mine - much more flexible
(plus anything that doesn't involve linking the BerkeleyDB libraries
into the main program has to be good :-)
I think I may have to give it a try later this week.
Chris.
