Well, how would you do it.

Requirements
Must be able to return an answer within a second or-so (so no rainbow tables)
Space efficiency is probably the most important factor, because these databases tend to be _HUGE_.

How I would go about it
Storing the MD5's on disk in a probably RB-tree index'ed way. Compression could helpful. I don't really know what more to say :classy:.

EDIT: Gheh, I described my first method in a way that would just store the MD5, no way to restore it (just what the md5 function does), now that was embarrassing :P

EDIT2:
More advanced solution, observing that MD5 is a hashing function, using this to build a DHT across a huge number of ever expanding nodes can be a good help. Still the same principle in the end though.
