The simplest thing to do is to avoid resolve_initial_references() and
just use string_to_object(). That way, you can hard-code either a
corbaloc / corbaname string or an IOR. Something like

  CORBA::Object_var obj = orb->string_to_object("corbaname::namehost");
  CosNaming::NamingContext_var nc = CosNaming::NamingContext::_narrow(obj);


Cheers,

Duncan.
