The best I can do is some concepts:
What you've said above is that the initial server will be in control
of who's talking and listening (using select()), and further that the
client only knows that it's talking to the initial server, yes?
Then how about this? Your program (the initial server) could cycle
with select() between the client and the remote server, telling each
what the other has just said and then recording the response. The
successive responses could be recorded in a variable, added to the
internal data structure of an object, or appended to a file. By being
the go-between, the initial server would enable the interchange and
could also intervene under rules triggered by properties of the
responses.
