It makes perfect sesne.  If I have a machine with two IP addresses with 
a separate domain name assigned to each, surely a program could be smart 
enough to determine which IP address was connected to, and look up the 
username in the correct domain accordingly.  Apache's virtualhosting 
does it (not with users, but same idea).
