WCF Discovery returns hard-coded URL

Question

The grand design is the following:

1. There is certain application that gets installed as a Windows Service
2. There may be several of these on the network<

Answer 1

Don't use the config.

Run the service programatically.

Here's an example of adding endpoints programtically: Programmatic_Endpoint_Configuration

And this, for comparison: Self-hosting_and_base_addresses

Answer 2

You should be able to fix this by replacing localhost with a wildcard:

<baseAddresses><add baseAddress="net.tcp://*:1234/My/Service" /></baseAddresses>

Answer 3

Another option other than wildcard is to use the machine's DNS-resolvable hostname instad of localhost.
