The RD server works as expected. The publishing client is not working correctly. We had to modify the code to get it to work as expected. However, the modified code is not generic enough to share to the community.
RD is just a directory very much like DNS about other nodes that exist in the network and the services they host. As far as I remember resource hosting is more of a service in which a more capable node will represent low power nodes that are not always available and 'host' their resources.
