For outbound requests, the outbound proxy does not need registrar functions.
It routes based on DNS. For inbound requests, its not an outbound proxy
anymore, its the proxy/registrar for the user. Thus, the statement that "the
outbound proxy needs to keep a database for the users inside the LAN" makes
no sense.
