LocalIDs are local to each simulator, so if object 1000 exists in 
Simulator B but you send a RequestMultipleObjects to Simulator A asking 
for object 1000 it will have no idea what you are referring to and 
silently ignore it. The viewer should be sending that packet to 
Simulator B and get a reply back from Simulator B. Did something change 
so requests are going to the wrong simulator, or did I misread your 
explanation?
