   Well, it depends. If you have set up your omniorb.cfg (or -ORBInitRef
on the command line, or other configuration trick) to point at a
remote name service, you can use the same command as before, the
first one. The other two will almost work, too, but for corbaloc
and corbaname URLs/IORs you need to use orb.string_to_object(), not
orb.resolve_initial_references(). You can also use those URLs in the
rir configuration. Check section 4.2 of the omniORB User's Guide for
details.
