When setting up a TCP/IP based server ORB, I can specify the IP 
host-name to bind to *via option -ORBIIOPIPName=..., or use an internal 
default, which is influenced by the value of -ORBNetId. But it does not 
seem like I can choose not to bind to an address at all, as in set up 
the server to listen for connections on ANY interface the machine may 
have. Why is that? Or is there some way I can do this? I've 
**-ORBIIOPIPName=0.0.0.0 based on the theory that this would be like 
specifying INADDR_ANY in a socket address structure, but it didn't seem 
to work...
