auxprop vs saslauthd

List,

I am authenticating users to a MySQL backend and currently I am using 
PAM and saslauthd, however, I wish to restrict certain users to only 
using POP.

I can create different service names in cyrus.conf, however, this does 
not allow the different service identifiers in PAM and the only other 
workaround I can seem to find is using auxprop. Auxprop will let me 
have a different MySQL select statement for any cyrus service. This is 
ideal for restriction users access. Is there a way to do such a thing 
with PAM.  Can cyrus send a different service identifier for PAM when 
creating a new service in Cyrus.conf?

Also I assume there could be some performance detriments when using 
auxprop on a busy server.

Thanks for any advice.
