[omniORB] Servant Forking

I've developed a servant that provides an interface to a legacy
FORTRAN simulation library to provide the capability of having
multiple "instantiations" of the FORTRAN model.

I would like to be able to have some sort of daemon process similar to
a Servant Activator that simply forks off a new process that runs a
reference of my servant to be used by another client.  I need the
servant to run as a new process because the legacy fortran model uses
all global variables, retains its state, and cannot be re-initialized
if a new client were to connect to it.  Once the client is finished
with the servant, I want the servant to exit.

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions doing anything like this?
