good point. I will make some test and update the example.

Btw. I was thinking about introducing some meta-providers like files,
where a number of sensible options is set in one run. For example
'provider=ADS' or 'provider=ADS_SFU' which will set the RFC2307 or SFU
mappings respectively and other useful options. Another candidate would
be 'provider=IPA'. With the DNS helper our config files would look quite
simple:

[domains/MYIPA.COM]
    provider = IPA

[domains/MYADS.COM]
    provider = ADS

What do you think about this?

bye,
Sumit
