all remote services into one single CORBA server. More common is to
use a proxy to put IIOP traffic through for the multiple servers. As
before, these proxies have not always been available as the CORBA spec
has evolved.

Martin, maybe you know a better way to approach this?

It's just an opinion, I don't know for sure.
As above, one typically needs a port for each CORBA server (per host).
It is a major security and admin issue. Why do you think that
CORBA/IIOP hasn't taken over the world in cross-internet services? It
certainly has had enough time to do so. SOAP couldn't have got off the
ground if CORBA/IIOP was ideal in cross-internet environment.
Let me know if I am missing something.
Thanks,
John
