Quite correct.  

It doesn't apply here, but I would add one note. At least one user is using 
two Directors with the same catalog, which is certainly possible, but IMO a 
bit risky since they don't know about each other and if any of the names are 
the same between the two Director conf files, there is very likely to be 
disastrous collisions in the DB.
