Would it be a bad thing to have CODA only have 1 registered UDP port,
which a client can connect to, and request the port numbers for that
server's coda service ports (which could then be arbitrarily assigned,
eg random). Then you could add new coda services without having to have
new ports officially assigned.

Sort of what the tcpmux port was supposed to do (too bad nobody ever used
it!).
