[omniORB] Multiple end point and Omni 2.8 client

[Wernke zur Borg]

	Hi,

	 

	We use a server that publish more than one profile like

	 

	Profile

	1. IIOP 1.0 Public_IP 3661

	2. IIOP 1.0 Local_IP 3661

	 

	When we are behind the firewall with NAT, no problem but when we
are local and not using the NAT to get back on the network, it fails. If
I reverse the profiles, the opposite problem rises... I conclude that
OmniOrb 2.8 client are not trying all endpoint for establishing a
connection. Is there a way to handle that?

	 

	Thanks in advance...

OmniORB indeed only uses the first IIOP profile and ignores the second
one.
 
In a recent mail with subject "Problem connecting naming service" (09
Oct) Duncan justified this behaviour and explained that rather than
using multiple profiles for the same protocol you should use only one
profile for IIOP with multiple alternate address tags
(TAG_ALTERNATE_IIOP_ADDRESS), which omniORB clients should respect.
 
I have not tried it with an omniORB client but from own experience I can
only warn you that other clients (example: Sun Java) may not respect the
alternate tags.
 
Regards, Wernke
