not really. the first entry allows direct queries, whereas the chooser
entry is for indirect queries. as the choice of a host results in a
second indirect query (which is forwarded to the target host), the
indirect acl entry applies. but the chooser asks the "target hosts", if
they accept direct queries. i don't know if this is the expected behavior
or if i hosed something. need to have a look at the original code once
more ...
