Hi guys...I would to make a simple multi process (not thread) server. I've seen 
the iterative example in which it handles one request at a time. Instead I need 
to handle more requests(more on less 10) at the same time. In the classic c and 
c++ examples, I've seen that the server is designed like the following:

int listensd, connsd; // listening socket and conection socket
pid_t pid;            //process id
listensd=socket(....); 
bind(listensd,...);
listen(listensd,...);
for(;;)
{

  connsd=accept(listensd,...);
  if((pid=fork())==0)  //child process
  {
        close(listensd);  //close the listen socket
        do_it(connsd);    //serve the request
        close(connsd);    //close the connection socket
        exit(0); 
   }
close(connsd);     //the parent closes the connection socket
}

Is it possible to do something like that with boost? I really don't know how 
obtain the two different socket, because in boost all the function (listen, 
bind, accept, etc.) return void.

Thank you...
