For me, this should be a configuration issue.  There is one predominate issue
with service lookup which makes it difficult to do this.  The issue is that
service discovery through multicast has no avenue for injecting different
LookupDiscovery or for unicast LookupLocatorDiscovery implementations, short of
very specific Configuration design.  If you really have the need, then I think
it can be done, just thinking about it.

There would be multiple places where you'd create some static Hashtables that
would be inside of classes that would need to be loaded from the same classloader.
