Just one more thought...

Perhaps an option for this would be:

suppose that A wants to initiate acommunication with B

A calculates ID(R)=hash(FQDNB)
A then searches for a context with ID(R)
If one context with ID(R) is found, A verifies ID(I),
if ID(I) = hash(FQDNA) then it creates a new context with ID(R) and
ID(I)=random
if ID(I) =! hash(FQDNA) then it just uses this context

This way, you implicetly discover who has created the context.

Do you think this may work?
