[omniORB] Multiple ports in OmniOrb 2.6

[Shawn LaMaster]

Duncan,
     The reason for doing this is that the host we are connecting to -
 the Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE) - only allows one port 
connection on their end per session/application/login.   We want to 
establish two (or more) from one machine.  We would like to have 
market data (bids,asks,trade prices, etc) coming through on one 
instance of our service, and the actual trading to go through on 
another separate instance of our service - but from the same server - 
one OmniOrb.  This is a limitation they impose on their end that we 
have no control over - one port per session. This is why we are 
asking how to do this.  Thanks for your help.
