That's the way location forwards are meant to work -- the new reference
is used until it fails, at which point the original reference is
retried. If that wasn't the behaviour, it would be impossible to build
implementation repositories or object migration schemes.

Can you just implement the forwarding behaviour at an application level?
Have the DispatcherServer return a reference to the Server object and
then explicitly do the call to it from the client?

Cheers,

Duncan.
