[omniORB] OmniORB3 and multiple network interfaces

It is.
At least with omniORB 2.8.0 it is. You must/can set some enviroment variable
to select which IP you want to bind with. I had to do this for a 'router-PC'
which contained two network cards, and teh app by default insisted on
binding to the wrong one.

But  - someone correct me if I'm wrong - you can only bind to one IP at a
time, so you cannot just put two of four IP's in the IOR.
