[omniORB] Multiple servers pinning the same port?

[Bruce Fountain]

Hi guys,

I have noticed that omniORB seems quite happy to
seize control of a port that is already being used
by another server. For instance, you can run two
naming services on the same port. INS-addressed
requests seem to go to the first server. If the
first server is terminated the second server takes
over handling of requests.

I know ORBacus will throw an exception on ORB_init()
if there is contention for a port, which I found
very useful. Is there some way of checking for this
condition with omni?
