Additionally, a container and a domain can be related in different ways. A
container is more of a configuration distinction than anything.

You might have two containers on a single production system that used the
same domain. You might have multiple domains returned from the same
container depending on the context of how it was used. How containers map to
domains is essentially up to you, as an implementor, though the default
implementation allows you to specify it in the config file, which is
probably the most basic mapping there is.
