Network lookup

[weronpc]

There are 3 client machine and one lead machine. These 3 Client Machines require to retrieve services from the Lead Machine over the internet frequently. So, in order to do that, Client Machine needs to know the Lead Machine’s lookup information, but the Lead Machine’s lookup information (eg, domain name or ip or lead machine A and lead machine B....) may change.

We could have a server machine to keep track of the Lead Machine’s lookup information, but we don’t have an extra machine to do so.

Question: If the Lead Machine’s lookup information does change (eg, lead machine A gone offline and lead machine B came online), what is the best way for the Client Machines to lookup for the available Lead Machine?

FYI: Client need to retrieve services from Lead Machine.

though same awkward but in such cases your client can expose service that let the lead machine to update the configuration as soon as it find it self on some changed node
