The simplest way to handle this to raise the hard limit of
open file descriptors if your operating system supports it,
but that was not the answer you were expecting.
I would probably go for multiple IP-addresses and multiple
accepting servers. For example, hostname mud.dom.ain might
have addresses 123.123.123.1-123.123.123.10 and ten processes,
each of them listening only single address, not INADDR_ANY. I
don't know how well this scheme would work though.
