Sure - http://jessen.ch/files/distripg_main.c It can't be compiled, but the pseudo-code goes like this: initialize bind() to address(es) to listen to start a number of threads (=workers) do until terminated poll() for new work if new_work(), accept(), queue it, then wake up the workers. done A worker thread: initialize do until terminated wait for work accept() process work done It wouldn't be too difficult to have threads dynamically started and stopped depending on the amount of work queued up. /Per Jessen, Zürich
