I don't understand what you mean here?

A way of testing at a very early stage would be to set up the service on
a machine in the DC that's not accessible from the internet and not have
the port forwarding on bazaar.launchpad.net but just test it from within
the data centre. Is that the sort of thing you meant?

There are roughly none, I think -- it's just a matter of returning
different URLs from the service (bzr+ssh, bzr, http), not how its
implemented.
