You can use a corbaloc to specify multiple host/port pairs, for use in
a single object reference. This is different from multiple separate
object references. At the moment, this facility doesn't do you much
good, since omniORB 3 only ever looks at the first address in an
object reference.  omniORB 4 will try them in turn.

Duncan.
