Hi,

it is done this way in the latest CVS version. loose_route uses the
domains stored in db table domain and checks if it is responsible for them.

You have to set domain's module pamater db_mode to 1 (cached mode), so
whenever you update the database, you'd need to invoke xmlrpm
domain.reload method (or restart ser).
