[omniORB] Can I start my Servant at a given port?

[waves hand in the air]  I know!

See the section in the documentation about the corbaloc naming
scheme in the "Interoperable Naming Service" chapter (Chapter 4).

You need to:
	use -ORBpoa_iiop_port <port no.> on the command line to specify the port
	use the boa called "omniINSPOA"  (see section 4.5)
	use create_object_with_id() to give the object a human-readable object key

Then you can use
	corbaloc::hostname:portno/object_key to access the server

1) I hope I didn't miss anything.  (But i did get this to work)
2) Does using omniINSPOA prevent use of other POAs in the server process?

Hope this helps..
