  I'm not so sure anymore that the server only listens on just one IP
address.  On the other hand, the IOR seems to contain only a hostname
and no IP address.

  If the server does really listen on several IP addresses but only
includes one hostname in the IOR, how can I change that behaviour?
I'd need to get all the IP addresses the machine has, then do a
reverse DNS lookup, would I not?

Thanks again,
Roland.
