Actually, the RC server that we have written serves as both a catalog
server (for URNs/URLs) and a location information server (for LIFNs)
(there is a separate RPC call for each function).

If we can standardize on a single interface to a catalog server, life
becomes a lot simpler. If we cannot standardize on this, it makes
sense to put the port number and protocol name in the RCS record.
