Like I've said, I'm not a developer, but maybe the "multiple domain support"
parameter could be extended with the backend method?
Like this:

"multiple domain support = DOMA:backendA, DOMB:backendB, etc"

But I guess this will be to long too.
Anyway, I do like the idea of specifying a separate "domain" parameter just
like the workgroup parameter.
