It means you're probably talking to an ORB that puts several so-called
multi-component profiles into the IOR.  Examples are Orbix and ORBit itself
(when using Unix sockets, which you shouldn't if you want to interoperate
with other ORBs)

Each profile consists of 
- end-point information, which breaks down into
    - protocol
    - addres-info; (e.g. host+port for IIOP (=tcp/ip)
- the object key, which breaks down into
  - POA id 
  - object_id
  - other stuff; this is all ORB specific

This multi-profile business is there to allow ORB the use of non-standard
protocols when they're talking to themselves. But at least one IIOP profile
should always be there. It also allows multi-hosting of objects.

I think that the putting the following into your (or their :-) ~/.orbitrc
should help:

ORBIIOPIPv4=1
ORBIIOPIPv6=1
ORBIIOPUSock=0

The latter would prevent the server ORB to publish the UnixSocket profile (a
fast ORBit specific protocol) into the IOR, resulting in a single-profile
(using the IIOP protcol) into your IOR.

I think so, yes. Cheers,
