RE: A web of directories

there may be more real life complications, I'm actually using four e-mail
accounts (wich have separate DNS servers):

- department level mainly in the office;
- corporation level (special services);
- local ISP from home,
- HotMail, when using somebody else's PC.

I have no strict role division between the addresses so my eMail address
may jump even from one continent to the other just depending the way, I get
connected. Correlating the eMail address with one or more (work, personal,
...) LDAP directories would be difficult.
