OK, I'm a bit slow. I just realized that by using RMI it is easy to get Arks communicating peer-to-peer. This will be great when sharing content or for IM when two users are logged onto different arks. It also makes it easy to replicate user registration across a network of arks.

Now I'm thinking that most arks will not have a public IP address. These arks would need to connect to a publicly accessible ark to join the network. Could be quite interesting. Unfortunately, there's miles to go before I have time for this.

Developers welcome!
