The problem with implementing multiple sources in one provider is that the end users assumes that the same is possible in other providers, and is surprised when they find out the hard way it's not. I don't believe it would simplify anything other than mod_auth_ldap. As I really only care about mod_auth_ldap, that's fine by me. If I cared about any other authentication module, however, I'd want this done in a completely general way across all modules.  Why?  So I could rely on being able to do this with any/all authentication modules with a consistent configuration approach.  Doing this in each module will result in only a handful doing it and each doing it differently. Again, I really only care about LDAP, though, so I'd be happy with inconsitency, etc -- as long as it solves the issue for LDAP authentication. -- Jess Holle
