the problem is we don't want(and shouldnt rely on) every subsite to have 
access to the user db, right?

ueue is going to solve that problem by providing a single access point 
to the live user DB and passing that info along to the subsite.

we will trust the people running the subsite, 'we' wont always have 
control over it though. and it might not always be practical for a new 
subsite to have direct access to the DB. example: its hosted somewhere 
other than the network the oracle box happens to be sitting on.
