Suggest using Multicast to auto-discover phonegap serve machine on local network

[mmocny]

You could use the chrome.socket plugin for that.

Specifically:

• On phonegap serve, also listen on a predefined multicast port.
• In the PhoneGap App host app, on startup, ping that predefined multicast port.
• All local phonegap serve machines receive and reply with port number that serve is serving from (also, machine name & app name?).
• PhoneGap App lists to the user the options.
• ???
• Profit!

Fantastic idea @mmocny!

Does the chrome.socket plugin support WP?
