In the past I wrote a similar thing in C to forward TCP requests.
I think you have to use either fork() or threads in order to keep on
listening on connection while you serve others. I used fork() at the time
but I would use threads nowadays. Anyway, after I saw the rising of all
these replication mechanism I wonder if such utility would be still
necessary.
