yes, by using approbiate protocols like nonce-tcp: and autolaunch: on 
windows.
nonce-tcp procotol uses a user specific secrect file located in users 
directory tree.
The autolaunch protocol uses a well known shared memory segment to 
determine the real used address.

This could be solved easily on windows by searching the client 
configuration file in the users home directory first and only if there 
is no file, the client configuration below the install root is used.
Thanks for this pointer.
