Issue 2461: question re BiDir IIOP

Issue 2461: question re BiDir IIOP (firewall-rtf)

Summary: I am having difficulty understanding the intended use of
 BiDirPolicy::BidirectionalPolicy. This is described (in section 15.9) as
 a POA policy to be passed to create_POA. That section also says that
 both client and server must have the policy with the value of BOTH for
 bi-directional communication to take place.
 
 My problem is that I don"t see how this policy applies to a particular
 POA. Once bi-directional communication has been negotiated on a
 connection, it applies to any request targetted at the negotiated
 address(es), regardless of what POA is the recipient of the request. Nor
 is it tied to the lifetime of a particular POA. And, what is supposed to
 happen if one POA has the policy with value BOTH, and another POA has
 the policy with value NORMAL?
