[ This is no bug report, it's a suggestion for a future extension to the
  client-server-connection. ]

When you are running X11 in a heterogeneous network you often have
windows open with rlogins on several machines. It would be quite
convenient if emacsclients on remote machines could connect to the one
emacs running on your local display (with a NFS shared filing system,
of course). If an emacs is run as server it might put its host name and
a port number into a file like ~/.emacs_connection. Emacsclients could
connect to the emacs server via AF_INET sockets.
