This should be the jabber id of your user-directory "agent" (aka, JUD = Jabber
User Directory). This is almost always a component which you run seperatly to
provide searching capabilities. Users also have to register directly with this
component to get their information into the database.

Exodus will grab this info directly from either disco results, browse results,
or agents results. I'd need to know what server you are rolling out to provide
more info.

An example of this kind of thing is users.jabber.org. Which is a perl component
using either a mysql db, or psql db.
