Yes, all clients (in particular app client) need to have a global 
namespace that mirrors the server for at least remote . However, this 
doesn't mean we *must* use remote JNDI calls to do it. I think a more 
flexible (and likely more efficient) thing to do is to have a 
"replicated" naming view. So when an app client is setup it maintains 
it's own "comp" and "module", and global can lazily sync via some 
mechanism.

This solves many issues, like what does java:comp/ORB point to on a 
client. It only makes sense to point to the client's local ORB instance. 
  The same applies to jdbc/jca resources.
