In order to keep network load low various strategies are implemented. There is also a basic security mechanism. For environments with stricter security rules there is also a restricted version, resLISa. -LISa should compile and work under the usual unix flavours (linux, *bsd, solaris,...), it might have problems on 64 bit machines and it definitly doesn't work with IPv6. It provides some special support for KDE , but it is completely independant, it requires neither the Qt library nor any KDE stuff. +LISa supports two ways of searching for hosts, the first method is to send ICMP +echo request packets to the hosts, the second one is to send NetBIOS broadcasts +using nmblookup.
