It can be done, but won't for a while.  Switch to a message based protocol
so multiple queries can run bidirectionally over the same TCP connection.

This way, as long as the transient has a query outstanding it keeps
the TCP connection open.  Answer(s) all go back on the same connection,
even for multiple outstanding queries.

It's not an entirely major overhaul of FNP, but not likely to happen
overnight.  For one, messages have to be tagged so they go to the
right job, etc.  More likely now that kaffe supports NBIO.

Until then, NAT sucks.
