So my request isn't so stupid :-) I mention addressbook while when I'm 
looking for someone, I right clic on loocking for and have what I want 
(my ils servers are all created there). So it's easier than to go in 
prefs and ask which server GM has to use. And imagine that one of your 
contact is also connected to 2 or more ils server. In this case, if you 
want to contact it, you have to check one by one on which he's 
connected! But perhaps you mean to create a prefered list in prefs and 
then this list is available in servers addressbook list and from there 
we can connect. So in this case ok ;-) And for Gatekeeper, could it be 
also possible to list them there, also with connected endpoints listed?

This is what I'm loocking for: how you modify perl script to get correct 
address from client if there is a problem. I modify netmeeting perl 
script to masquerade IP address of intranet client with valid IP address 
on which ils server is running. Thus people can then be reached from 
outside. But I didn't find a solution for others :-(

Related to point 2: how to discover bad client IP address and how to 
solve problem. Second, what is better with xdap? Is it still using perl 
script? the same?
