Some networks eschew full avahi services that would let a client find a server, for example if they are too far away on the network. Having an avahi setup running on just the client subnet may be acceptable though. For these cases, it would be nice if we could assist, with documentation or with code, the simulated avahi registration of those servers. Specifically, we should find out whether it may be possible for someone on the client vlan to run avahi-publish* commands that would expose the actual remote servers. Perhaps stap-serverd could even print such instructions if it's started up without a local avahi service.
will be solved a different way via web services
