If the number of clients are not huge you could look into bonjour or avahi. Or
set up a centralized directory server. Or use a p2p distributed hash approach,
which finds local clients and which is decentralized.

Hey, Nanomsg team:
We came across this great Nanomsg, and plan to do distributed
communication based on that in the local network. However, every
nano_connect() or nano_bind() call through tcp needs to provide an endpoint
string url, and the url has to come from somewhere, now how to get the remote
url or broadcast/multicast its local url to the interested peers in the local
network is the key issue.
We wonder Nanomsg has something doing now to support this remote
service/device discovery? There are not so much materials on the network
address this issue, http://hintjens.com/blog:32 is taking the broadcast based ;
udp solution, but this is tightly bind to Zeromq, and it is broadcast (we
need to use multicast instead, our devices will filter out broadcast packet).
Any pointers are very appreciated. Thanks a lot.
