Given that we've already re-invented e-mail and blogs and social "where 
are you and will you be my friend" media stuff, maybe it is now time to 
re-invent rpc and its portmapper (I think nowadays people prefer to talk 
about "service discovery" and "request brokers"). You simply direct your 
request and payload to a central server, which knows (or finds out) 
which instance of a given service is available to handle your request, 
and passes it on. I think xapi already does something like it, only for 
xapi requests of course but why not extend it ;-)

Bye
Frederik
