I got this working using %l for the ip, but I'd really rather do multiple ports so I don't have to have 4 ips on 16 different machines. I was trying to use the new 1.1 %a variable as the local port in my query but it seems to always return 0 in 1.1beta14, does this variable not work yet?

I use sql for my passwd db. So are you saying use some kind of conditional in my select that checks for @ in the username and if not found appends the domain based on the %l variable (using something like a join to a table that has port to domain mappings). Interesting.
Exactly. The "checks for @ in username" part could be done easily by checking if '%d' = ''.
Im worried that might add significant load to the sql server though. This is a fairly large install. (300,000+ boxes).
If there are only a few ports, you could use a CASE instead of a table join. But I'd think both of them could be done quickly by the SQL server. It's still a pretty simple query.
