Too bad, its already been done by the big boys. Building the system is only a small part of the problem. Consider the regulatory issues, and the clearing house fees. But in theory, you could create a system using Informix, Oracle or Sybase. Actually it would be a cluster of systems. But then you would also have to have a farm of web servers and a really good hacked copy of bind. (You did want to cut some corners right?) Lets also not forget security and everything else.
