Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Rendezvous in php
From: chregu@bitflux.ch (Christian Stocker)

Hi

first. pecl-dev@lists.php.net is the right place for this

second. there's already a zeroconf extension at pecl (based on howl), 
which does some rendezvous stuff. Maybe you could join efforts with 
them. http://pecl.php.net/package-info.php?package=zeroconf

But yes, rendezvous support in PHP could certainly have its uses.
