It does happen once, but the server must keep checking those sockets in order to accept incoming connections. So it would not be the same to work with a couple of sockets than with a dozen of them (not because of the syscalls, but because of the algorithm that we are using). > Now alternatively this could be solved on the application layer.

If I were seeking security, I'd personally set a firewall to reject the requests that I don't want my server to accept. -- Greetings, alo http://www.alobbs.com/ _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
