That wasn't successful because DCHK and IRIS aren't worth the pain to implement, not that the idea isn't essentially sound. Better would be something akin to Nominet's DAC protocol: http://registrars.nominet.uk/namespace/uk/registration-and-domain-management/query-tools/dac/instructions There's no need to over-engineer this stuff: use a persistent connection and a simple wire protocol capable of pipelining requests to and responses from the service, and a few custom request types for querying the status of the connection and doing keep-alive.
