Rendezvous should do what you want, although I'm not sure off hand whether it requires you to provide a service port or not. If all else fails you can just set the service port to 0 or some junk value, and ignore it anyway.
The 'traditional' way of doing such a thing is to broadcast a request (at app startup) to the local subnet and have your app respond, but this is for your intents and purposes exactly what Rendezvous does.
