Jobst,

The following works for me in 3.6.x.  Modify to match your criteria.

	idmap config * : backend	= tdb
	idmap config * : range		= <low> - <high>
	idmap config DOMAIN : default 	= Yes
	idmap config DOMAIN : backend	= <idmap backend>
	idmap config DOMAIN : range	= <different low> - <different high>
