The client ORB should be able to detect when the server end is dead. If
things are working correctly, you will get a system exception (probably
COMM_FAILURE) when you attempt to invoke a method on a remote object
through that server.

Detecting a dead client from the server would be difficult without
polling through a callback or similar, which just makes the server a
client to that callback object.
