[Pvfs2-developers] host id

[Phil Carns]

I don't think we have any globally valid fixed sized identifier for the 
servers.  The only option I know if would be to use a handle (for 
example, the first handle in the server's mapping) to represent each 
server.  I think just using the string name would be safer, though.
