Ok the gns docs make this clear,

http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.2/neutrino/utilities/g/gns.html
:

Connection rules for GNS
Applications that wish to connect to a global name service can use the name_open() API. If the same service is 
registered by multiple hosts, the rules that determine which specific instance of the service you connect to are: 

If a service provider exists in the same machine as the application that requested the service, the gns manager tries to
 connect to the local service provider first. If the connection succeeds, the application communicates with its service 
provider locally, to gain better performance. 
If there's no local service provider, or, for some reason, the local service provider refuses to provide the service, 
the gns manager tries to connect to other providers. If there are multiple remote service providers, the order of trying
 them (i.e. who gets the connection first) isn't defined.
