Anytime.

Yes, that is correct.

If you want to go private, I can discuss with you. 

But note that registration to the mapping system can be signed and verified 
with PKI so when a requesting EID is authenticated (and authorized) to lookup a 
destination EID, the map-server can decide if a reply should be returned 
(map-servers can proxy-reply for Map-Requests).

It is my belief that you don't need other AAA solutions if your mapping system 
supports access-control and identity verification.

Sure, anytime. Thanks.
