C# WCF return request to self hosting server

Question

I am running WCF self hosting server. Connection is coming fine and I can process them. But now for long connections we decided to break a connection, process request and send results back to self hosting server on client side.

How do I know which client should I send a request back? DO I need remember every client address? How do I know their address, should they provide back address as input parameter? Or maybe there are much easier, correct and elegant way to solve this common issue?

Thanks!

As f0x already said, you could use callback contracts.
