676,GPE should use DNS-SD,Graham Cobb,Graham Cobb,"Extract from Daniel Gollub's mail suggesting that gpe-sync plugin and gpesyncd use DNS-SD to find each other...

Another thing would be DNS Based Service Discovery (aka. DNS-SD, Zeroconf). At 
least with Avahi ssh server got already announced via DNS-SD by default.
{{{
= eth0 IPv4 sugga                                         _ssh._tcp            
local
   hostname = [sugga.local]
   address = [10.0.0.3]
   port = [22]
   txt = []
}}}
So you could browse for available boxes in your local network (ok this is only 
the  case for local link.) The same could be done with GPE. gpesyncd is 
the ""server"" right?

The advantage would be to set the default configuration to look for certain 
DNS-SD records like: _ssh._tcp or _gpe._tcp and let the user select available 
boxes within the local link. And store  all required information about this 
service...

You could even store information about the user (not in the case for ssh 
service) in such service record.
