Re: [MUD-Dev] How to support 1000+ simultaneous connections, and some philosophy.

Some form of handing the new connections to the child processes? You
can do this with either BSD-style or SYSV-style sockets. That way the
original server process can keep track of how many clients each child
is serving, and try to balance them. You need some mechanism, like
maybe a shared memory segment, whereby the child processes can tell
the master when connections go away.

Yes, it has been an interesting phenomenom. Personally, I've been being
quite lazy and not doing much MUD stuff lately. Having done a bunch of
stuff for DevMud, I chose to then sit back and watch what others did.
Also, none of the other things that I was doing were directly relevant
to the project like the telnet stuff was.

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation.
