You could use zero-configuration networking for the discovery:

To add to this thread, we already support multicast DNS (called Rendezvous by Apple) in Jive Messenger (Open Source server at http://www.jivesoftware.org). So, you would use mdns to automatically discover the central XMPP server and then normal disco, presence, etc, to find other clients that support the services you're looking for as Peter suggests.
Jive Messenger lists itself using the "_xmpp-client._tcp.local." service
name, which mirrors the XMPP DNS SRV entry.
Why "_xmpp-client" if you're advertising an XMPP Server?
