I accidently did this when I was testing the hotboot code for Murk++. Both servers were randomly reading commands from the same connection (processes can share socket connections). Anyway in Windows you use WSADuplicateSocket and then notify the process what the socket handle is. I do this via a file (like Erwin's copyover). It would probably be better to use a pipe. In either case the process receiving the new connection needs to know that one is being handed off and needs to have permission to use it. The simplest way to notify a process is to create an EventObject.

Sorry no info on how to do it in Linux. :-P
