Yes indeed, I think that would do it. It might be worthwhile asserting
at the same time a boolean variable something like $was_routed so that a
director can detect that the source was a router, and I suppose a string
variable carrying the router name might help too, for completeness.
Talking about virtual domain handling, is there no alternative to
dropping on the floor the value returned by a lookup in a "domains"
director guard? If this were returned in a string variable available
within the matching director instance then we could avoid any further
expensive disk accesses by using $extract on the looked up value.
That would allow very generic table-driven directors to be created
without sacrificing efficiency.
