On a seperate note I'm sure a lot of people would benefit from -c/-i being 
mentioned on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm. 

You are one man with only so much time so I tried registering on the wiki 
to propose an edit for you, but I'm not allowed. I think all we need is to 
know that -c and -i exist, and a note about how people in proxy/director 
configurations need to make sure to tell doveadm to communicate with the 
instance that is running director. 

For some reason, my intuition would be that since doveadm is aware of both 
instances, that it should be aware of which one's config to use for 
connecting to director for proxy information. 

Thanks,
Andy
