If the ORB is given a host name, it will just use it even if it is not the
real address of the host. By use I mean every object reference it is giving
out will have that host name in it instead of the real host name.

The option can be given multiple times, the ORB will insert multiple
addresses into the object reference it gives out.  HOWEVER, there is no
guarentee that the client side ORB will diligently try all the addresses in
turn. 

omniORB 4 currently under development will have a better support for
multiple addresses and firewall navigation.
