I would envisage such a system returning all the ACNs
for the group.  If the group has multiple e-mail systems,
then the ACN would map to the most suitable.  If it
has one, then they would all point to the same server.
Ditto for WWW, etc.

I expect I'll have a proof of concept system up in
a few more weeks.

There are two major products that came out of Berkeley:
LSD and UNIX.  This is no coincidence.
