yes, it is needed. I thought also about a list to be kept in core, but
then there has to be a way of synchronization when doing reload --
adding/removing entries as domain or other module updates its records --
callback is easier. I think also is more flexible, e.g., if one needs to
match all subdomains, can easily implement a module and register just a
callback instead all subdomains.


just wondering if worth to extend core a bit so that modules can register
callbacks for is_myself check. Therefore, if (uri==myself) can match
entries in the domain module.

Architecturally, the core function goes like now and if no match, then
executes the eventual callbacks. This way does not matter if domain is db
only/cache mode or other modules do checks against other storages (radius,
web app, etc).
