How about storing the machine IP address and the port in the file for
each successful emacs server instance. The file name itself can be
machine IP DOT port. This will handle the case of NFS mounted home
folders.
Another option, how about having a user defined fixed port for running
emacs server. This might lead to a DOS attack but the port is defined
by the user and hence not something that can be guessed easily.
