Problem: Only 1 fsockopen() connection for apache at a time.

Hello all. I have a script that uses fsockopen() to connect to a remote server/port and from what i am seeing mod_php4 with apache only allows 1 fsockopen connection at a time and will que the other fsockopen calls and then process them when the one before it has closed. Is there a way round this? What i am after is for somebody to be able to goto the php page which will then connect via fsockopen to the other server do its send/read stuff and then produce the output. At the moment if one pages takes a bit of time to finish the remote connection then all the other apache processes just sit there and wait for it. The remote server only ever gets 1 connection at a time even though there are free connections available. Has anybody else seen this or know of a way around it. -- Regards, William Bailey.
