	No. Essentially no; in more detail - there is AFAIK no way the client
can request how it's invocation should be processed - the server
implementation must setup it's POA to handle a request per thread.

	It's handled like this - except that whenever a CORBA method is
invoked, (perhaps during the server processing a request) incoming data
can be handled, so possibly the handling of all 3 requests might be on
the stack at once. [ that is if during handling a slow CORBA call was
made ].

	This mode is as yet to be supported by ORBit2 - which while it has some
chunks of infrastructure necessary to be threadsafe is not currently.
