I don't understand how using SRC will affect anything; do you mean have, say, 
classes/port1, classes/port2, classes/port3... and have the same interface in 
each of them with a static, synchronized, public String as the only member?  
Will this ensure that each instance of the String will be disjoint with 
interfaces in other directories, but unique in applets that implement the 
interface from the same directory?  It would be an interesting solution, but 
far from ideal.  It feels like a hack.

What we really need are true interprocess communication ports that are oblivious to the host address and port number; something indexed by a name.  Is this not possible?
