The answer is unfortunately at this time no.
This request is of course the natural result of evolution towards a
stand alone replaceable name resolution component. Perhaps this should be
done in a slightly different way than suggested above. Perhaps there should
be an API which CA uses to monitor the location of channel (instead of being
supplied with this information only once during initialization). That way when
the channel moves to a different IOC CA will always be able to find it
(in order to remain compatible with past CA functionality).
Here is a hack at an API for a resource locator object:
class resourceLocationMonitor {
resourceLocationMonitor(resourceLocator &, const resourceIdentifier &);
~resourceLocationMonitor();
virtual locationCallBack(class locationInfo &);
};
The location call back would be called when the location is
discovered for the first time and whenever it changes.
I suspect that the resourceIdentifier class would have support
for at least ASCII resource identifiers and wildcard pattern matching.
We would also need to support independent resource name spaces.

This is mostly an issue of reorganizing the code I think.
Nevertheless, I will avoid making any estimate of the effort
required until we are further along with the design.
