Hi,

If I'm not mistaken, and you have more than one interface per hostname, this
sounds as if it could be similar to a problem we've just had with OmniORB (and,
in fact, the other ORB we were using) -- namely (we think), that IORs can
contain hostnames. If the name is resolved differently by the client, then the
client tries to connect to a socket that isn't there, and gets garbage. Our
quick fix was to make our DNS only return one address for the hostnames
involved; a slightly better quick fix might be to force the IOR to contain the
dotted decimal address rather than the hostname...

Of course, I could be wrong (there were other changes going on at the same 
time, so it was hard to pin down) :-)
