This problem is actually solved. Please see RFC 2769. There is one implementation of this already, in ISI's BIRD server. IRRd folks, the defacto routing registry server, are also working to implement this as well. I heard rumors that RIPE will also implement this spec. The protocol lets you auto discover new registries, and of course you can choose what to do with the newly discovered registries. For example, you can establish a registry exchange peering with radb, and set auto discover, and each time radb or recursively some one they exchange with starts peering with a new repository, you can start receiving their data as well.
