Such a library could start by skipping the auto IP attribution (consider
network devices have an IP address). Then we would only need a broadcast
address where a newcomer can arrive and say:

- where is "funky synth" (the newcomer's own name)
.. no reply
- I am "funky synth" and I talk "foo" protocol on 10.0.0.5:3875

I've had a lot of troubles with porting the zeroconf stack in oscit to
linux, embedded linux, os x so I think I would be glad to build a true
platform independent solution.

Can we form a group to create such a small library on top of 0mq and OpenPGM
? If we build something that works closely with 0mq, we could transparently
choose the best transport depending on the host (interprocess for localhost,
tcp for remote).

Anyone interested in creating/evaluating this mdns library, please join
http://github.com/rubyk/zconf. We will probably start by experimenting with
a Ruby implementation.
