Yep, all 3 of these work.

Yep, both of those work.

I find it odd that this works:
  InitRef = NameService=corbaname::127.0.0.1

but this does not:
  InitRef = NameService=corbaname::localhost

To me they should be equivalent.

Also, this works:
  InitRef = NameService=corbaloc::127.0.0.1:2809/NameService

while this still does not:
  InitRef = NameService=corbaloc::localhost:2809/NameService

Thanks,
