Actually Rob, it can be done at much less than $20 per domain, just not at
the volumes that we are looking at. ;)
For a great example of what our future systems architecture might look like,
check out
http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/info/registry-agmt-appc-g-11may01.htm
for a pretty specific overview of what the Tucows designed backend for
LibertyRMS (the registry management service for .info) looks like. Some
pretty neat stuff in there. Operational experience with this new system
will definitely have an impact on the nature of OpenSRS moving forward - at
least philosophically.
