1. Within your application,you can use CORBA::ORB::resolve_initial_reference() 
   to obtain the object reference to contact the Naming service. If you
   stringified this object reference you get the stringified IOR.

2. No, you do not need to update the value in omniORB.cfg everytime
   omniNames is restarted. The IOR will remain valid.
