Other scenario is a request failing triggers the name server resolve
process (registering / requesting) for both server or client. In this
way a valid IOR is present even after eg. a (unlikely) name server
crash. Only tricky part is simca-server should be registerd before
client can request and so requests still fail even if valid IOR is used.
This also means that the name server ior is only requested the first
time or actually changed.
