Thanks for your reply! This at least clarifies it's not a configuration mistake on my end. Then indeed, I guess what I really want is rather an "enhancement".

This raises the question: How does `xrootdfs` know that? It presents the files only once in our configuration, even though it knows all the data servers. So I guess it does some kind of merging already. 


Based on that, I would go with the option to let `xrdfs ls` do what `xrootdfs` does. This appears to be the "least surprising" solution for the user. 
My guess is, without reading the code, that `xrootdfs` uses some kind of option "c", i.e. some clever merging. 
Does that sound sensible? 

Cheers, Oliver
