[omniORB] Callback objects not working with corba server on vmware

The problem is that the client as more then one IP (one "real" network 
interface and two VMWare interfaces). The server runs on VMWare and has only 
one IP.

Calling a function on the server works fine, but the server cannot call the 
callback object. When I disable the "real" network interface, everything works 
fine.

Someone at work suggested to me that making the client use DNS names instead 
of IPs solves the problem. The client is written in Java and it is using Sun's 
default ORB. Unfortunately I did not find any option to make it use DNS names 
instead of IPs. Does, by chance, somebody have an idea if this is possible 
with Sun's ORB? JacORB does have this option, maybe I should try this one 
instead of Sun's ORB? (Omniorb for the client is no option because the client 
is written in Java).

Greetings,
Michael
