At this point, we are trying to state requirements. You have already ran 
full-force into proposed solutions.

Having said that, I think your proposed solution is overkill for "discovery".

That's "discovery by looking around". I propose that a much simpler solution is 
"discovery by listening for trusted parties to register with you their 
information". That is, the introducer has a list of trusted gateways (which 
might be other introducers), and it listens for them to tell it what addresses 
they are responsible for and the policies that are associated with them. There 
should also be a way for a gateway to ask an introducer what the introducer 
knows about the gateway.

You have one view, I have a different one, and the rest of the WG should be 
chiming in about which they think are required for the problem of P2P VPN.
