Yes, with the endPoint and endPointPublish parameters:

Not specifically, no, but there is extensive documentation about
the listening and publishing of endpoints.

Some of the things that containers do with regard to network address
and port mapping are not especially compatible with the way CORBA
works. Any time a system publishes an object reference, it contains
endpoint information about how to contact the object. If the IP address
and port that a server thinks it is listening on are different to the
details that a client needs to use to connect, all object references
will fail to work as you have seen.
