Alternative Transports / Master Server

Hey,
we are currently looking into adding new transport layers to orocos.
We haven't choosen the concrete implementation or candidate yet,
the candidates so far are :
  - LTP/BT (licklider transmission protocol / Bundle protocol)
  - ICE
  - DDS
  - zeroMq

Noe we stumbled over the issue with the "Master Server"
for now, there is the implicit master server, being the
corba nameserver. By "Master Server" I mean the instance,
which tells you which components are running, and what
their URIs are.
The question now would be how we should move on with
this. Our first idea was, to implement a transport independent
master server as a orocos component and in the long run
switch all transport layers to this one.
Comments are welcome ;-)

Greetings
