Is that true?


Yes, or it could send one query to a server which in turned queried the
other 9. Either way though, all 9 get queried unless the answer was cached.
Caching is tricky with registrations as you don't want to cache a
registration which hasn't been renewed.

Is there a way to have 'registration servers' that accept registrations from

Yes, it is possible to push peer information as well as pull it. You could
also, as you say, limit the number of registration servers (i.e. servers
doing both the registration and DUNDi) and then only query to them. I'm sure
the hybrid model you suggest would work as well although it'd need testing
to see whether you got more performance out of splitting the DUNDI and
registration roles or just adding more dual-purpose machines.
