Can NDSolve be used for ODEs with one (or two) boundary condition(s) 
being that solution must tend toward zero at infinity?

[Eigenmodes of complex slab waveguides with transversely varying index 
and loss profiles being the case of interest.]

Pointers to alternative Mathematica-based attacks?

[Didn't find any answer to first query in extended documentation for 
NDSolve.]
