I am not a lawyer, but here's some interesting advice about dodging process servers (NOTE: some jurisdictions may have different standards):

The short form? Courts are used to wiseguys who think that if they just dodge the process server, they can never be sued.

If you can show that you've made good faith efforts to have them served and they do not respond, dodge the server, etc. then you can apply for "alternative service" which does not require them to actually be served in the traditional manner. They can tape it to his front door, send it via registered mail, or even just publish the service in the local newspaper.

I wouldn't tell him any of this, of course...
