CORBA communications just use TCP connections. If your VPN / firewall
allows the connections through it will work; if it doesn't let them
through, it won't work. It all depends what you are trying to do, and
how much control you have over the firewall configuration.

It might help you to be able to pin down the port number the server
listens on, with -ORBpoa_iiop_port in omniORB 3, or -ORBendPoint in
omniORB 4.0.

No examples, I'm afraid. It's far to specific to a particular
situation.

Cheers,

Duncan.
