See the inConScanPeriod and outConScanPeriod configuration parameters.

There is no problem if a connection has been closed before the client
invokes a oneway. In that case it will open a new connection. The only
problem is if the server closes the connection at the same time the
client is sending a oneway. If you are using omniORB everywhere, you
can prevent that situation by simply setting the inConScanPeriod to be
longer than the outConScanPeriod, meaning the clients will always
close connections before the server does.

Cheers,

Duncan.
