I think the problem here is that you're trying to break the separation
of concerns.  A guest really shouldn't care or know who is hosting it.
 The host already knows what guests it has, so query that.  You could
build or use a management app to control all this.  Then if your guest
really needs to know where it is, it would then query the manager.
