We didn't use https for the registrations but (something very similar to) EPP

It is basically an XML request/response protocol over SSL.

MINA certainly was not the bottleneck (the database was).

Our web-based whois (http://www.whois.eu) running on Tomcat had more
trouble with the load.
But it probably got more hits as well, I haven't got the numbers right now.

Kind regards,
