Yes. You also have to be careful to always use the same TCP port
number for your server, with the -ORBpoa_iiop_port command line
argument.

No. Data is needed in the object key to tell the ORB which POA an
object belongs to. There can be only one POA exempt from this, and
that's the INS POA.

Maybe not. It all depends how many objects you need to publish to the
outside world, and if you need the extra functions of the Naming
service like being able to list the contents.

Cheers,
