This dynamic server activition policy is one of the four activition
policies described in the Basic Object Adaptor specification. 

omniORB only supports the persistent server policy and not 'server-on-demand'.

Having said that, all the APIs are there in omniORB to implement a daemon
application to do what is provided by Visibroker's oad or Orbix's orbixd.
If anyone is interested in implementing this daemon, please contact us for
more information.
