I've been looking at Java (just research purposes!) recently, especially at the .nio library which has this package called socketchannels, which is cool. Used with channelselectors and managers and all that you can have an application run several socket servers at once and select the most unused one at each request, more or less. What I want to know is, has anyone heard, seen, though about doing this in PHP, I understand that it would only work for CLI or CGI, but still, COOL!
