I'm using DO between two machines using NSSocketPort. It works

NSPort is designed around the semantics of Mach ports, which include
definitive notifications from the kernel when a particular port dies.
This is something that is difficult for NSSocketPort to simulate; the
closing of a particular local socket, for example, does not necessarily
mean that the remote port has died (although it often does so). I am
working on this issue, but at the moment these notifications are not
available.
