OK, so I'm seeing how the stubs contain the ip-address in the http-port
local variable, but how do I get that out and into a useable form? The only
thing I can think of is to echo a probe of the server to a file and parse
for the http-port, but I'm sure there has got to be a better way than that.

--------------------------------
When a server start, it generates "stub" code, code that a client can
retrieve and use to connect to a service. So.... get-rugby-service
receives this code (essentially a block containing function defs) and
you either do them or put them in an object.
Now when the stub code is received the client replaces all *http* by the
ip address it just used to connect. And when you invoke a function on a
get-rugby-service'd retrieved stub it connects back, etc.
