I have downloaded your hub service (V 3.0) and thrown it onto a test server for examination, however since it is not clearly documented (yet) I have decided to ask my questions here... I read through the other forum posts and did not find an answer.
Currently we run a private file trading network, you can read about it at http://www.ubernet.org I am seeking to improve upon the deficiencies present in NMDC hub as we use it.
We only allow registered users, and currently we are running a single hub- this is largely due to the fact that I refuse to release a user list as it would contain all of the passwords! NMDC Hub has been stable, and resources have not been an issue on the server machine. The key issues for us are:
Administration
Security (passwords)
Performance (low priority as NMDC hub works all right with this)
I would like to be able to create a Registration Server that would provide authentication for multiple hubs, this way we maintain security of our user base. It is vital that we move to a multi-hub architecture soon, and I am evaluating paths to that end.
Can I implement a Registration Server and how does this functionality work? I am willing to help with whatever if I havent been clear here-
Let me know

Well if i understand u u want to continue to use registered users only etc.
u could make your "public server" open accpeting any users etc. and then use redirects from there to other servers using registration or "invites" to allow users.
the hub entagling alowed in NMDC hubs seems to me to be just a work around for its max users and not a good way to actually make a mutlithemed network.
but maybe thats just me.
i think it would be a wonderful feature to have multiple rooms within a hub, setable by the owner.
maybe 10 or so available.
a user could then join the hub front room and have to PM the #<Roomname> to get into (for example) the movie room, or the MP3 room etc.
maybe a second security layer could go with it along with some subsettings like maxusers etc.
i know i would like that enhancement to the hub myself
