Why cant the master server provide the information, as i assume that some form of request is being made via a socket or otherwise to register the client? Even if no you can still do what you need by creating a socket or url connection to the master, and have the master send the details back.
A bit like when folk ask me for my mobile phone number i never remember it.. So i get them to give me their number and i call them and hang up to give them my number.. It all seems a bit promiscuous for me, but it should work just fine.. Mark On 3/16/06, Frank W.
