DX9 semantic indexes are apparently unlimited, and you can definitely specify COLOR 0..3, I haven't tried to go further.

Of course, a generic face-dependent routing table could be yet another optional feature. Does any API expose such a thing, perhaps in the form of unlimited rather than 2 front/back colors?
