At present, omniORB always uses the first address it finds. You can
override that, and even include more than one address, with the
-ORBpoa_iiop_name_port command line option. Note that the client side
currently only looks at the first address in the IOR, so putting
multiple addresses in isn't especially useful.

The CORBA specification doesn't say anything about these issues, so
it's ORB specific.

Cheers,

Duncan.
