I think SocketgetLocalAddress() would give you the wrong value (it gives 
YOUR value) -- the one for the server to use is Socket.getInetAddress().

One gotcha with either of these options: the address the island uses to 
connect to the server may NOT be the same address with which it wishes 
to connect to specific other islands; perhaps the island machines have 
multiple network interfaces.  But that'd require some hacking.

At any rate, I try to avoid bumping ECJ's minimum requirements when 
possible, though moving to 1.4 is hardly unreasonable at this time.
