        In the only case where I had to bootstrap I popped the IOR into a
file which was exposed by an httpd server to be a certain URL, so I could
point the other end at a nice clean URL instead of some horrendous IOR.
 
        Of course, other people use NFS to exchange the IOR in a file, and
as you say - message in a bottle is most tempting.
  
        Regards,
