Hi, If you are familiar with PHP, Java, Python or .NET you could try the Provisioning API Client Libraries:
http://code.google.com/apis/apps/libraries_and_samples.html This Libraries will help you interact with the API from those languages, so you don't need to use REST directly. You don't need a dedicated server for this, only a client, but you will need to code functions using the Clients. If you want to use a LDAP solution for managing users, like Sams suggests, you can also try: http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-for-your-domain-ldap-sync/ Julian.
