  Much quicker than that would be to configure stuff to reply to a broadcast... like ARP.

      Not a compiler (yet), but you can get a pseudocode interpreter here [python.org].

  Actually, Rendezvous/ZeroConf works by using mutlicast DNS on the local subnet. It also extensively caches responses and uses incremental falloff of queries and announcements. It's pretty network-effecient. Check out the ZeroConf website [zeroconf.org] for the draft RFCs.
