Still no automatic workage, but I wasn't really expecting that.

Is there a way to manually prod gproc into joining another nodes after startup? The way i have it set up, nodes boot with gproc booting in global mode as a top level app. Then nodes find each other using an out of band mechanism and use net_adm:ping to connect. By glancing at gen_leader code, it appears there's no way for gen_leader to automatically be aware of newly connected nodes, so I figure there might be a way to indicate it manually.

Thanks,
Mihai
