I see where a MultiPathRecord contains a path independence field.  But since it 
only provides a single value for all other PathRecord fields for all SGID/DGID 
pairs, it seems less flexible than PathRecords.  It's also missing LID 
information, and limits the number of DGIDs to 255.

What I'm not understanding is how I can replace PathRecords with 
MultiPathRecords or how to make full use of MultiPathRecords.
