Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

It would be much nicer when connecting a client to a local server if there was some discovery method.
This could be accomplished by the client sending a broadcast packet which ABS could respond to with the server details (there are other options of course - that's just a simple one that springs to mind)

Why would this be helpful?

It would make connecting to a local server far easier (if on 13378 - possibly for non-standard ports as well)

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

DNS SRV records might be another good option for discovery.
