Description Nanbor Wang 2002-08-15 14:06:27 CDT 
The semantics of Connection_Timeout policy is more 
like "RelativeRoundtripTimeoutPolicy" which prevents that being used for lots 
of nice use cases. 

Imagine a use case where there are two paths to the server, each through 
different NIC's. If the first NIC is down on the server or is bad, the clien t 
wouldnt be able to reach the first NIC. In such cases the ORB should try the 
second NIC. But the adoption of the semantics of "RelativeRound.." policy 
doesnt handle this scenario well enough. The ORB throws an exception 
CORBA::TIMEOUT back to the client when the first path is found invalid before 
the first invocation. 

This needs to be fixed and is a blocker for 1.3

Blocks the 1.3 release, without this functionality fail-over is simply impossible.
