Why not have tcp simply not register on each connection, but on each new client. The handle_new_connection() function is only used on the server.

I'm not sure that helps solve the problem. Even with only a few hundred clients, with MPI-IO, a new process on each node is going to connect to the server. Over time, a different client port number could be used, so the count of "peers" could still grow into the hundreds of thousands.

I see what you mean. I was not thinking of the large number of available ports that the client could use and that would generate separate client peernames. :-)
