There are various ways to build discovery into the IdP.  We've done this
for several services, such as AWS Cognito, including automatically
scripting different SP's to route directly to specific IdP's.

It isn't too painful, though you lose some options and complicate the
deployment by necessity when proxying.  It should meet Clemens' use case,
but...

I agree with the simpleSAMLphp suggestion.
