OK - I want to do something very tricky with master users and if I get it to work I'm adding it to the wiki for everyone to use.

So far I have a MySQL database that servers multiple domains. I can set a flag making someone a domain owner that allows that person to become master of that domain. Here's the query for that.

password_query = SELECT user_name, domain_name, password FROM users WHERE user_name = '%n' AND domain_name = '%d' AND owns_domain='1' AND '%d'='%{login_domain}'

So - here's where we get tricky.

I have another table called "ownership" where I have 2 fields which is a pairing of email addresses (login_id) and domains owned (owned_object). Data might look like this:

j...@blow.com domain1.com
j...@blow.com domain2.com

Since j...@blow.com owns both domain1.com and domain2.com I want him to be able to log in as anyone in those 2 domains as a master user.

Examples:
  t...@domain1.com*joe@blow.com
  ha...@domain2.com*joe@blow.com

So the idea is to create a MySQL query so that if the master user matches the domain part of the login user then it returns true and allows the login.

What MySQL query will do that?
