Depending on the monthly cost of outsourcing I have thought about running a jabber server. Can you setup your jabber server to pass through authentication over to gtalk?

In that case maybe you want to setup conference-only jabber server that doesn't allow logging in to it but hosts MUCs and manages logs.

Yes, in that you can have ejabberd call out to an arbitrary script for authentication.
