The naming service is an incredibly simple thing. It just maps names to
object references. That is all. It doesn't know or care whether the
objects are persistent or not. That is an issue for the server
implementation.

You must use a persistent POA, and you must make sure the server always
starts with the same endpoint information.

In theory, you could use an implementation repository to start servers
on demand, but omniORB does not have one.
