I realize that this is seriously off the wall. There is a pretty secure P2P system (Groove) that was developed by Ray Ozzie. Focus is on security on the wire, on the box, everywhere with serious authentication - Diffie-Hellman exchanges and all the right security toys. Admittedly when I run it at home the lights in the neighborhood dim. I am wondering, though if there might be a way to use its kind of services for some behind the scenes secure discovery - removing the hackability of most of the P2P systems. No I don't know how it scales, what it's throughput and licensing limitations are.. I just heard P2P and immediately went outside the box. Chris My vcard is attached.

RBLs Sounds like a great application for P2P.
Perhaps, but it also seems like moving an RBL onto a P2P network would making poisoning the RBL far too easy...
