I must apologize beforehand that what I'm about to say is not exactly what
Duane asked for! Lack of time has slowed me down to the point that I
haven't even explored what's in 2.2 relative to 1.x -- sigh. Let alone
working on the NT authenticator, which has been high on my todo list ever
since Arjan's work came out (obviating my work for 1.x :-)

That said, it would be cool if the redirect script could indicate a
required authentication realm. Like:

if ($site =~ /playboy.com/) {
        print "AUTHREQD dirty_pics $url\n";
} elsif ($uri =~ /\.ra/) {
        print "AUTHREQD sounds $url\n";
} else {
        print "\n";
}

So, if a Great Rework of the authenticator is on the radar, it would be
cool if the acls could be selected based on redirector feedback, and if
multiple authentication domains could be selected using acls.

Again, accept my apologies for asking but not offering, and even worse,
for asking for things that may already be there!
