Unsure which "that" you mean.
Yes, $domain will be tainted. Using it as part of the
conditions in a lookup is still permitted; the taint-tracking
is not intended to stop that (because it is in general a useful
facility). But *that* domainlist, d2, does not also have
a file as a list-element - so the string-expansion of the
definition string (which becomes tainted) does not affect one.
The hope is that the string-expansion phases for the sub-lists
making up local_domains are done lazily. I could go look at
the coding, but I'm also lazy.
Yes, for the ldap lookup here, quoting should be done.
