The clients continue interacting with *other* servers during their whole 
lifetime, so it is not feasible to shut down their ORBs.

I would prefer to solve this problem at the server side, since this 
gives a single point of intervention.

One heavy-handed solution I can think of is to shut down the... server's 
ORB perdiodically, so that *all* its connections are closed. Then the 
server can reinitialize and continue working, even without losing its 
state in the meantime.
Committing a "communication suicide" at the server side is a bit risky 
and I hoped for some more lightweight solution.
