I don't think it would be really useful to have the possibility to omit the 
last domain name. Especially since currently there are no situations in which 
we would have to use multiple domains. It's not worth to break backwards 
compatibility to do that. 

Imho, we should make the backend name, domain name, and options mandatory 
when multiple domains are specified. The options field then can contain a
| because we can search backwards for the |; this only means that the domain
name can't contain a |, which would be the case anyway.
