Just look at the eg3 example (client or server):

CORBA::Object_var initServ;
initServ = orb->resolve_initial_references("NameService");

actually initServ is the IOR of the Naming Service. You can stringify it
and store it in the file reacheble via a URL connection.
Ofcourse this file must be updated everytime the Naming Service is
restarted.
