reload-metadata & multiple metadata providers

We use the TIER (ITAP) images and we add two additional layers. The first image we create is called the base image and in that we add in configuration elements that are common amongst all our IdP's, such as, InCommon metadata config, a local system-wide metadata config, common release policies, attributes, etc. In this base image we create a metadata-providers file and appropriate entry in services.xml that creates a metadata-providers file just for the base image so all our IdPs have like metadata loaded that are system-wide.

The last image layer adds in campus specific IdP configuration (we support 6 IdP's) and this image layer uses its own metadata-provider and appropriate entry in services.xml. By being built on top of the base image, we get a baked in configuration. 

Hope that makes sense!

This certainly isn't a show stopper and we only use the reload-metadata service for quick debugging purposes generally, but was curious if this was a bug or if there was a workaround.

Thanks!

    Care to share why a single metadata-providers.xml doesn't suffice?
    Just curious.
    
    (Personally I don't even have multiple MetadataProvider elements
    within my single metadata-providers.xml file other than a "federation"
    one and a "local" one. So obviously your use-case is very different.)

    Can you share the corresponding log message(s)?
