Yes.

All modern CORBA implementations should try them all. Older ones may not
-- omniORB 3 didn't, for example. In omniORB, the order the addresses
are tried in is determined by the client transport rules.

Yes.

No, omniORB publishes the endpoints in IORs as well as listening on
them.

Have you read the relevant section in the omniORB documentation?  For
omniORB 4.0.x it's here:

  http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/omni40/omniORB/omniORB008.html#toc41


omniORB 4.1 has some new options about how addresses are published, that
let you do all kinds of interesting things. That's documented here:

Cheers,

Duncan.
