Thanks for these pointers!

Option 2 sounds quite promising ... would this conceptually create 2 
CORBA Objects supported by one servant, or would it still be one CORBA 
Object that only is registered twice? (What would _is_equivalent(..) 
tell me?) Also, at the moment I'm just running the default POA with the 
default policies (omni 4.1.2) ... I guess I'll have to do something 
there too?

... anyways I'll follow your link and try it out from there ...
