[PATCH] New ORB_init option "ORBNetID=<string>"

Hi,

Remote ORBs might not be able to resolve object references generated by
ORBit2. The reason is that the short form of the hostname generally is
used. 

An example: 

* Imagine a host with the FQDN "thor.test.com" and the IP address
"10.0.3.2". ior-decode-2 will show that any locally generated IOR
resolves to "thor"

This will necessitate DNS or host configuration changes. It is therefore
necessary to introduce a new ORB_init option to control how host
resolvable names are generated by ORBit2.

The patch below introduces the ORB_init option "ORBNetID". The argument
is a string. The value of ORBLocalOnly will always take precedence to
preserve compatibility with current applications.

Possible values of ORBNetID is:

"local": all attempts to resolve the local host will be done using "localhost"
"short": all attempts to resolve the local host will be done using "thor".
"fqdn" : all attempts to resolve the local host will be done using "thor.test.com".
"ipaddr: all attempts to resolve the local host will be done using "10.0.3.2".

Patch against CVS HEAD below. Tested on Gentoo 2005.0 AMD64.

Please review. I'll commit in a week or so if no-one objects. 

Best regards,
  jules

+	* src/orb/orb-core/corba-orb.c: Added new ORB_init option, ORBNetID.
+	Valid values for a hypothetical local host (FQDN:thor.test.com, IP:10.0.3.2):
+	   "local": all attempts to resolve the local host will be done using "localhost"
+	   "short": all attempts to resolve the local host will be done using "thor".
+	   "fqdn" : all attempts to resolve the local host will be done using "thor.test.com".
+	   "ipaddr: all attempts to resolve the local host will be done using "10.0.3.2".
+	The new option will be evaluated after ORBLocalOnly but ORBLocalOnly will always take
+	precedence.
