  The DcpNameMapper interface is used by SearchCriteria and
  other classes to map DCP names to addresses. On the LRGS
  server side there is a native implementation that uses the
  global LRGS shared memory. On the client side there is a
  pure-java implementation that uses locally defined network
  lists to map names.
