The simple answer is "no" because if you just pass argc, argv to the 
first ORB, it will consume both endpoint arguments, leaving nothing for 
the second.

You could do it with application-specific arguments though, preprocess 
the argv list to transform one argument into -ORBEndpoint before passing 
it to ORB 1, then transform the other argument into -ORBEndpoint before 
passing it to ORB 2.

This is generally true for all -ORB* command line arguments, they are 
destructively consumed by ORB_init. So if you want to pass any command 
line arg to multiple ORBs, you need to keep a local copy of the arg 
before calling ORB_init.

HTH,
