Hello people,

I'm searching for a solution to build a client-server
environment. My idea - or my vision :) - is the following:

I have a master process and 1-n defined slave processes.
The master listens on a single port and divert incoming
requests from clients to the slave processes. Now I don't
know the best way to do this. One of my considered
solutions is to deal a new port on that a slave is running.
Maybe each slave runs on a own port. Or maybe a slave could
inherit the new socket ($ns = $socket->accept()).

Does someone have links or snippets with examples that
containes parts of my idea?

Update: The background of my question is that I develope
a performance monitor and 1000s of servers deliver their
statistics like processor, memory and network workload to
a central data server.

Update: Sorry people for my bad description. :(
I try to describe it in example steps:

1. listener.pl runs on port 43600
2. 10 server.pl processes runs on ports 43601-43610
3. incoming client requests on port 43600 to listener.pl
4. listener.pl answer the next free port from a server.pl
5. the client reconnect to a server.pl to deliver his statistics

I want to use this way to devide the workload.

Thanks,
Jonny
