I'd suggest that the caller's IP address is just a hint, a default or last resort of where to look for the caller's auth server. There probably ought to be a way for the caller to specify an auth server to be used by the called system to authenticate the caller. I don't know if there's existing machinery that can do this or not. Arguably, "cpu -u andrey-7EzO+0SSANouExZ/[email protected] -h 9grid.lanl.gov" could be interpreted as `contact auth.ucalgary.ca to authenticate me as user andrey', for instance.
