Good question. Presumably, it would depend on business relationships
between the databases and trust that the returned database(s)
are certified by the application regulator.

In a domain that requires the use of a Listing Server, the device must
still check the alternate database(s) with the Listing Server.

A flow might be:

 1. Device is in regulatory domain X (but does not know it), but contacts a
Database A in Y
 2. Database Y returns OUTSIDE_COVERAGE error, suggesting the use of
Database B
 3. Device contacts Database B, returning available spectrum and a ruleset
that indicates the device is in domain X
 4. Device uses its (preconfigured) Listing Server for X to determine
whether Database B is valid
 5. If so, Device can use the available spectrum returned by B

(The device may do any sort of caching it desires to try to start with the
"right" database for the next query).
