Revision history [back]

The closest approximation I can think of to accomplish what you want would be to create a new NodeHandle at runtime and explicitly pass remapping arguments to one of the relevant constructors. When creating/destroying NodelHandles be careful not to leave the node with a single NodeHandle whose reference count drops to zero, or your node will be shutdown.
