I'm curious what you are doing.
I'm working on a framework / libary for doing "distributed threads." That is, I want a subclass of Thread that spins the work off to a separate machine. Think of it as a way to do parallel programming in Java, where the library tries to look as much like normal java thread programming as possible.

Yes. Given the nature of this thing, each of the machines that is part of the system needs to have an exported object running on it, but there needs to be a central place for the "thread manager" to go look to get a free node / thread. That's why rmiregistry won't really work for this. Well, not without layering another layer of gunk on top of it, anyway.
I'm actually using the JBoss naming server right now, and it works OK. But in theory, now that I've worked out how to get to the stub object that can be serialized and passed around, any naming / directory system would work. I'll probably try to test it with OpenLDAP at some point, just for grins and giggles.
