[omniORB] exception (COMM_FAILURE?)

[Jian Deng]

we have a server talking to serveral clients at the rate of hundreds
records per second.  the problem comes when the network cable is broken,
or yanked out of one of the client machine, it takes a few minutes for
the server to get the exception (COMM_FAILURE ?) back from its call to
the client.  of course, the system is considered fall apart given the
rate of data.

how can we deal with this?  many thanks in advance.
