"Must use" both omniORB and TAO seems to be a rather arbitrary 
requirement. Both ORBs have a reasonable feature set and both are 
reliable. Both also work as clients and as servers. I've had great 
success with both, but never a requirement to mix them together in a 
single application. I do have a simple example app which can be compiled 
against *either* omniORB or TAO, so I know the conventions for the two 
ORBs are not that different.

I'd stick with TAO for the server.
