Hi, the creator here. The locators are NOT federated. This is by design if you want to have a completely private network. Also, I haven't had time to implement federation. If this is something that interests you, you can help implement it if you want. The locator is less than 300 lines of code, so it should be easy to understand. My long term plan is to use a protocol like telehash instead of my own hand rolled one. However, you can have as many locators in your client as you want. So this way, you can have redundancy.
