I believe that you need OmniORB4 to do this.

With OmniORB3, you can configure which interface to listen on (and publish 
in the IOR string), but you can only specify one interface.  Here is the 
relevant part of the docs:

In OmniORB4 there is a new way to specify which interfaces to use, which I 
think can do what you require.  See:
