No, the persistent policy just means that the object key used in
object references will always be the same for the same object id given
to the POA. This allows you to create persistent objects which go away
and come back later, as long as the server always starts on the same
port number.

There is no built-in support for forking new processes in which to run
objects. It would be fraught with platform dependencies. If you only
want to make it run on NT, it shouldn't be too hard to implement
yourself.

Cheers,

Duncan.
