Comment (by dcf):

 Something I've talked over with ln5 (Linus Nordberg) is rather than having
 the client (knowingly) register at multiple facilitators, is to multiplex
 and distribute such registrations on the facilitator side; for example,
 further decouple facilitator-email-poller, and have it send some
 registrations to one facilitator and some registrations to another.

 The main motivation, as I understand it, is privacy of flash proxy
 operators. For example, a privacy-oriented web site wants to install the
 proxy badge, but doesn't want their visitors making requests to a third-
 party server. They can run their own facilitator, and configure their
 badge to make requests to it only. But then the question is of course, how
 does this new facilitator learn about any clients, when all existing
 clients are already configured to register with someone else.
