As an alternative, you can run omniNames so it listens on only one
port. You can either run omniNames on port 2089, and give Java the
ORBInitialPort 2089 property, or you can run it on port 900 and use
omniMapper to redirect requests from port 2089.

The only disadvantage of making omniNames listen on more than one port
is that the object references to its naming contexts all contain
profiles for both ports, so they take up more space.

Duncan.
