<P><FONT SIZE=2>I think you're confused by your terminology. I think you mean that you</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>are starting three servers on three different machines, and each</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>machine is running omniNames. Then you're trying to contact the three</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>servers via the three name services, from a single client.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The problem you have is that the ORB is a singleton, so you can't</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>initialise more than one. That's why you can only contact your first</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>object. The correct thing to do is to initialise a single ORB without</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>bothering to configure a name service. Then, give the three name</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>service references as corbaname URIs to orb->string_to_object.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Aside from that, it is usual to run just one naming service, and have</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>all your servers register themselves in that.</FONT>
