Adding alternative findserver() functions to be able to perform an unique match based on name or puid and by leveraging revision id (rid) to make sure the function won't match with a new server reusing the same name or puid of the "potentially deleted" server we were initially looking for. For example, if you were in the position of finding a server based on a given name provided to you by a different context: Since dynamic servers were implemented, between the time the name was picked and the time you will perform the findserver() call some dynamic server deletion/additions could've been performed in the mean time. In such cases, findserver() could return a new server that re-uses the name of a previously deleted server. Depending on your needs, it could be perfectly fine, but there are some cases where you want to lookup the original server that was provided to you (if it still exists).
