A RingServer allows a Rinda::TupleSpace to be located via UDP broadcasts. Service location uses the following steps:
- A RingServer begins listening on the broadcast UDP address.
- A RingFinger sends a UDP packet containing the DRb URI where it will listen for a reply.
- The RingServer recieves the UDP packet and connects back to the provided DRb URI with the DRb service.
