Suppose I have a program that uses RPC.  It registers it's protocol
and starts talking with another machine....

Now, I want to run both (many) processes on the same machine to
simulate a bigger system.  The problem seems to be that when an
RPC program registers, it cannot (easily?) register itself as bound
only to a particular IP/interface...

I can hack the portmap code if I have to, but I definately
can't change the RPC API.

Does anyone have any ideas, or any pointers to more appropriate forums
in which to ask this question?

Thanks,
Ben
