hi there
This naming conflict isnt new , in zeroconf / bonjour they just add an
ascending number at the end of the users given device name.
"eben_moglen(1)" , eben_moglen(2),eben_moglen(3) for e.g.
IMHO, how this could work is discribed in this paper
"Persistent Personal Names for Globally Connected Mobile Devices" http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/uia:osdi06/
( yes i know its very technical, but to make even a 14 year old kid
understand what needs to be done, the engineers needs todo all the
work )
Another good explanation from dr. stuart cheshire about some facts in
naming conflicts "Why GUIDs are not ideal as service identifiers" http://www.dns-sd.org/DNS-SD-GUIDs.html
I am not aware if you know about the "socialVPN" project whitch is
based on Brunet, DHT, ipop, groupVPN
Code and readme https://github.com/davidiw/brunet/tree/testing
Just my 2 cents
