Clients can disconnect at any time, and reconnect later on demand. You
can't use the currently connected set of clients to understand anything
about the set of clients that are currently in a position to interact
with the server.

With that caveat, you can get hold of some information about clients
using a serverReceiveRequest interceptor. You have to dig into the
internal omniORB structures to get hold of things like client IP
addresses. Take a look at the data structures available in the
interceptors and you should be able to figure it out.

Cheers,

Duncan.
