Well' it all depends on what you want. Often, it is wise to determine
what information is
a) unlikely to change
b) representing your system

For example, if the users on your system will always be receiving mail
for only one of the domains, it might be wise to create a branch for
each domain, and create a branch for the users below those.

If a user may receive mail for addresses under both domains, or none,
you should's seperate them per domain.

The same thing you can think of when decideing about types of users. In
our own systems, we usually split up real unix users from mail or ftp
users. That is to make sure unix users (which are required to login with
ssh) will not use the same password or account as the use for insecure
pop3 or ftp sessions. In this case we have two branches, one for 'real'
users, one for virtual users. What we generally do with users for
proftpd, is to link them to a dns domain, determine their homedirectory
from that domain name, and have apache automatically determine their
homedirectory and website from it..

i'll post some example entries soon..
