I'm wondering the best way to attack the problem of an app that wants to talk to other machines running the app on the same network segment. If this were straight Unix, I think I'd send out broadcasts and listen for them, but I'm wondering if there's a better way under OS X. (For various reasons, I need to avoid a client/server architecture for this problem.) Perhaps this is what Rendezvous is for? I admit I haven't had a chance to read much about it.
Any thoughts? Obviously I'd prefer something I can do with pure Perl, but if I have to dip into ObjC or even Java, I can deal. Thanks. Trey
