It's not clear to me that you ever have to do a pure identifier to locator
lookup.  This is especially true since locators are only locally unique.

Thus, you always need to have a locator identifier pair before starting a
lookup, presumably to determine alternate locators.  Once you have the first
pair, you could do a reverse lookup to determine a name (and any name will
do) and then do a forward lookup to determine the locator set.

Note that I don't know if this is what Ran has in mind, but it could work.
