Hi, folks,

I am using CORBA for an embedded system. One concern here. Please help. 

My situation is: No DNS server running on these embedded systems

So, if a CORBA-based product, by default, use DNS machine name to fill the
"host" field of IOP. I cannot get access remote machine 'cause of no DNS
server in my local machine.
How about the case if I manually compose a IOR, using IP address to fill
out the "host" field? I am not sure if omniORB by default ONLY parse or
wait for DNS name to
create/open socket connection. Please clarify this issue. Thanks,
