Description Ossama Othman 2000-03-24 19:42:05 CST
It is conceivable that UIOP IORs may be advertised on a remote machine.  As
such, it is important to ensure that the IOR contains the hostname of the host
that the rendezvous point resides on so that the client doesn't inadvertently
attempt to connect to non-existent rendezvous point on the local machine.

For for the following configuration:

	Host:			foo.bar.com
	Rendezvous Point:	/tmp/idbehold

		./server -ORBEndpoint uiop:///tmp/idbehold

The generated URL style IOR would look something like:

		uioploc://1.1@foo.bar.com:/tmp/idbehold|yadayadayada

This idea needs further thought but it's a start.

Mine, as usual.
