well, i was thinking about that and thought that many different
solutions are possible and should be implemented. that's why i wanted
the libv2jam to be separated and contain nice API hiding all disgusting
CORBA guts.

mailing is alright option, but i'm afraid every time you restart a
nameserver ior changes. i thought the following can be a decent system:
scrip that runs local name server puts its ior in a well known place
(say /var/run/name-server.ior). then every instance of simca has it.
then there should be a module in the first simca that you run which will
listen for connections on certain port and answer simple requests there.
ior of the name server will be one of the requests.

this way you just type "simca://nerve.v2.nl:5000/server1/foo/bar" in
your client and it will send request for ior name to something
listenning to port 5000 on nerve and then use that name server to
resolve server1/foo/bar part.

BTW, i'm glad you've started to code with me again, even though we have
a bit of a clash at the moment :) i'll resolve it in a couple of
minutes.
