Changing frontend cache

Our architecture consists of a front-end cache that most read only users obtain their data from directly. The front-end cache sits in front of a farm of webservers that serve pages written in PHP. We need to be able to detect certain conditions at the front-end cache level and pass those values through to the back-end via HTTP headers. For example we would like to manually tag the carrier network based on the IP address. So, for incoming traffic if the user is say coming from an IP address in the range of “41.202.192.0”/19 we would tag them as being a Orange Cameroon user by setting the appropriate HTTP request header, e.g., X-Carrier = “Orange Cameroon”.

Registration: Email hash and verifying only one account per email

I’m using a registration function that hashes the email in PBKDF2 with a random and unique Salt each time. The hashes email and his salt are saved in the DB. No problem with that.
The problem is that now I want to make sure that users only create one single account per email. Obviously to verify that I need to check my DB and that’s where the problem starts. I either lose in security or in time.
