it might be worthwhile looking at encryption options instead of setting 
up different services - this is just an implementation detail, but I 
think encryption might scale better. In any event, I am receptive to the 
submission made - it might make for a fair middle ground, especially if 
there is an auth layer that lives above registrant auth that allows 
registrars to tell if the request they are seeing has been signed by a 
registrar or some other third party.
