You can't really share connections across processes. Across threads, perhaps. But, sharing them across processes is asking for trouble. You'd usually be relying upon shmem which is tricky and not really meant for sharing shm-able data structures. (Some custom OS techniques might be available, but they wouldn't be portable.) -- justin
