I've written a sample client to an Orbix 3.0.1 service.  It works fine when
the server behaves normally.

I added some code to the client that sets the client time out period, but it
does not appear to work with Orbix.  This same setting seems to work with
ORBs.  I do not think that this is an Orbix problem per se because Orbix
uses location forward requests, and they (I think) may be the source of the
problem.

The attached client works fine when the server is set to behave
appropriately.  When the Orbix server is set to sleep for 25 seconds or so
in the middle of an invocation, the client never times out.

Does anyone know if this is a problem or not?  I can (and will probably)
write an omniORB server that uses location forward requests to see if I can
replicate this behavior, but I don't have one currently.  I was hoping that
someone had already run into this problem (or at least knew it existed)
before I take the time to try and prove it.

Any thoughts?
