set up cyrus sasl to either use mysql for authroization or use pam for
authorization and setup
pam to use mysql. I set up cyrus sasl to use mysql. It can be done with
pam and mysql, but I've
never set that up. 

That way, all of your 10,000 users will be in a mysql database and you
don't need to give them
real accounts. 

you'll most likely have to compile cyrus sasl to use mysql. I don't
think any of the RPM packages
come with that enabled. 

if that doesn't help you google for a better answer let me know.
