Whenever a client calls up an authentication
server, it knows what domain it is expecting
to find there.  The server can discriminate
based on what domain the client asks for.

This would have been useful when setting
up sources, for example, which has two different
auth domains -- one for the kfs file server you
know as `sources' and one for the rest of the machine.
We did this with some ugly namespace tricks.
It would be nice if it were easier.
