Does anybody know of a way to tell the Java ORB to use fixed address/
port combinations?

No idea, but at current times when there is firewalls between peers, a
protocol like SOAP is the preferred way to communicate. SOAP Web Services
use HTTP or HTTPS which can pass firewalls without much trouble because of
fixed ports.

True.

But SOAP/HTTP is somewhat different regarding marshalling/unmarshalling
overhead and transaction support.
