new domains without changes to /etc/kolab/kolab.conf OR "pure" LDAP-only administration

Hi all,

Looking at these docs:
http://docs.kolab.org/en-US/Kolab_Groupware/3.0/html-single/Administrator_Guide/index.html#sect-Administrator_Guide-Adding_Domains-Adding_a_New_Domain

Specifically referring to #6:
"The new domain has now been created in LDAP. For the web administration
panel to pick up on various settings related to the new domain name
space, edit /etc/kolab/kolab.conf and at a very minimum, add a new
section for the new domain and set the base_dn setting."

We're very interested in automation, and editing config files is a bit
of a bear.  Since most of what the admin interface does is update LDAP,
if we're not "using" the admin interface to add/modify/etc., we wouldn't
need to update the kolab config file, would we?

In other words -- whatever Kolab's admin interface does to add new
domains on the back-end, as long as we do the same thing in LDAP, we
should be fine, right?
