[omniORB] Two orbs in the same process

[Attila Pletyak]

We have a quite big distributed app, where web servers receive requests
in CGI programs. The first request is a login request, where we say to
the back-end to create a module handling request. The other requests are
served by the created module.=20

The load is big. It happens that more than 1 million requests (login and
others) should be served in one hour. Our customer required that the
login should not take longer than 1 minute, but anyway, we want the
module to be created. So after timeout, we wanted to give the task to a
background thread which can wait longer, in the meantime a "default"
module handling the requests.

That's why I wanted to achieve a different timeout in a different
thread.=20

Sincerely,
