I don't know how neither, I'm new to CORBA/ORBit2.  
However, I think associate such info with POA servant (1st argument
of every implementation of IDL method on server side) probably make
more sense than CORBA_Environment.

AFAIK, ORBit2 use linc and linc use glib for event loop and hide the low
level network/socket APIs.  Can we simply get the orignal socket ID
returned by accept() call somewhere ... then we know almost everything about
client.
