Ken, as far as I know, the names of resources are not wired to 
anything (except how they are called from Transcript), so you can 
rename them yourself. The only thing to figure out is how to call the 
right one at the right time. Of top of my head, this can be done by 
either duplicating the handlers for each mode or using a passthru 
function that knows whether you are in server or local mode and calls 
one or the other name.
