(ASCEND) Access Control realm issues




Hi all,

I'm trying to integrate Access Control into our existing authentication 
here, (mainly for the simultaneous use restrictions), but want to use 
realms to handle different classes of users. I'm seeing though that when 
Access Control proxies off a user to another server, it sends the 
complete user+realm to the other server, and I was hoping to use vanilla 
free Ascend code for these servers which get the proxies. Has anyone 
hacked /patched their free Ascend code to cut off the realm info on auth 
requests?, or can the free Merit code help me out here, in that atleast 
it knows about realms...

Also for load sharing on the servers which are being proxied too, I'm 
considering using round robin DNS, but am not sure if this technique will 
work reliably (ie authfile realm points to a hostname, which is actually 
2 servers using round robin DNS) Does it work?
