Thanks to the recent advances in the async support (probably to be out in 3.2.4), SA could even handle a TCP-based lookup. The BPA client could even not be necessary in order for SA to gain any advantage from MIPSpace services. Also, platform-independence would be a further benefit returning from an async-centric solution. This iff MIPSpace likes to release the BPA protocol, of course...
