I don't think we have any globally valid fixed sized identifier for the servers. The only option I know if would be to use a handle (for example, the first handle in the server's mapping) to represent each server. I think just using the string name would be safer, though.

Index into the list of aliases in the config file works too, as long as you don't store it anywhere. I have some functions that map index to bmi addr if you want them.

Hey guys,
we're needing to send a server host identification on the wire. In the config the host_id appears to be a variable length string. Should we just use that, or is there something else of fixed size I'm not aware of?
