[fpc-pascal] Standby socket servers?

[Francisco Reyes]

After reading the socket samples at 
http://www.bastisoft.de/pascal/pasinet.html I am starting to get the basics 
of socket programming.

The one thing I don't see in that page is how one would have standby 
servers.

In other words I would like my server program to have some N number of 
daemons to handle the connection. Like one can do with apache..

Have a minimun number or processes always running with the ability to grow 
as needed up to a maximun number of processes.

I don't have exact numbers, but my guestimate is that during the busiest 
times of the day the program will need to handle 5 to 10 connections per 
second.
