What you describe is actually the HOLDING state.  You can put a
POAManager into the HOLDING state by calling hold_requests() on
it.  Later, it can be reactivated by calling activate().  The
HOLDING state is also the initial state of a new POAManager.

Unless something has changed very recently, TAO's support of the
HOLDING state uses a maximum queue size of zero (0), which means
that no requests are actually held.  If the number of held
requests meets the maximum queue size, the POAManager will raise
the CORBA::TRANSIENT exception with a minor code of 1 for new
requests.  Therefore, the POAManager in TAO behaves the same in
the HOLDING state as in the DISCARDING state.
