Ok, here's my situation. I'm writing a mail server in CORBA. It uses email 
addresses similar to internet mail, in that the server name is part of the 
address. When sender a message to a remote server, you need to contact
that server across the Internet. Can you explain how to do this without using
corbaname? [In case this scenario sounds weird, it's for a final year project 
in college, not a real world application]
