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.
