My understanding is that at sr10.2 you can have a
configuration file for the glbd, (glb.txt?) that can be used
to specify what nodes should be listened to to register the
ncs services. So you could configure it so that the rgyd's
running on each network would only be able to register
themselves with the master on each network.

Also you can create accounts in the registry and give
certain people ownership over certain accounts. So you could
make all the %.chemistry accounts owned by the prof, and all
the %.eng owned by somebody else.
