It is:

2005-07-25  Jules Colding  <colding omesc com>

	* 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.

Best regards,
  jules
