Yes, that's a problem, and we need to sort it out.

Yes, we need to do some of that. But that "published" service location 
needs to be defined in advance of any request. So there probably needs 
to be some config value to control where the services are provided.

Yes, that's also an option.

Thanks for the suggestions, will see what we can do.
