ORMI fails with RMIInitialContextFactory

Question

Hi,
I am trying to lookup a ejb running on a remote app server, and I am using the following settings which are posted at the end of the page,
PROBLEM :
when the remote server is running everything works fine, but when the remote server is down, the application/client fetches the local instance, though I am using the ormi and specifying to connect to the remote server, I face this problem when I work with a same EJB which is deployed in the two different servers and with the same application name. one more thing is I do not want to use the remote="true" as the same ejb is needed in the local machine for another applications and pages
so I want to know how to stop the server to pick the local instance when the remote server is not running.
     Properties p = new Properties();
     p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
     p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ormi://208.28.177.97:23791/hello-planet");
     p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "admin");
     p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "123");
     Context ctx = new InitialContext(p);     
     Object obj = ctx.lookup("hello.ejb.Hello");

I've tried the trashing of user prefs and Qmaster cache as mentioned here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1888 as well as running the utility Compressor Repair http://www.digitalrebellion.com/compressor_repair.htm. Also, after testing I see that Compressor is actually having troubles reading 1 particular ProRes file and re-encoding it as ProRes. (I'm running a multi-step conversion using ProRes for all intermediary steps). I don't see anything wrong with this file (plays in QT, displays in the Compressor Preview window, etc.), but I'll remake it and see how Compressor does.
