Actually, as of Jaguar, NSSocketPortNameServer does use Rendezvous, so in the example below the server could add [[NSSocketPortNameServer sharedInstance] registerPort:port name:@"foo"] and the client could then use [[NSSocketPortNameServer sharedInstance] portForName:@"foo" host:host], where host is a host name, or a dotted quad IPv4 address (or the IPv6 equivalent, if you are using IPv6), or nil for localhost, or "*" to match any host.

There are some limitations associated with this use of Rendezvous for a port name server; see the Foundation release notes for Jaguar for more information. For more sophisticated usages it should be straightforward to use NSNetServices directly to advertise and look up ports. If you need to go beyond the local Rendezvous domain you will probably need to do some additional work.

Either use Rendezvous (which I haven't looked at), or use a numbered port:

Server:
NSSocketPort * port = [[[NSSocketPort alloc]
initWithTCPPort:SERVER_PORT] retain];
NSConnection * conn = [[NSConnection connectionWithReceivePort:port
sendPort:nil] retain];
[conn setRootObject:self];

Client:
NSDistantObject * proxy = nil;
NSSocketPort * port = [[NSSocketPort alloc]
initRemoteWithTCPPort:SERVER_PORT host:hostname];
NSConnection * conn = [[NSConnection connectionWithReceivePort:nil
sendPort:port] retain];
