Ok, I wasn't able to attend the meeting, so I definitely missed 
something :(. Anyway, if replicated services will be declared with 
multiple URLs for the same (authURI,serviceName) combination, then the 
combination of (authURI,serviceName,URL) will uniquely identify a 
service. I don't know about the other APIs but with the current Perl 
API I can already search for the one service that has such a unique 
combo. So that should be enough for a client to retrieve results from 
the same async service to which it submitted a job/query :) Is that 
correct?

Cheers,

Pieter
