This may or may not make sense in your application, but have you considered using the proxy framework? That might involve a mod_proxy_yourprotocol to handle the tcp requirements. Your main module would then create a proxy subrequest when it needs a connection. See mod_include for an example, where <!--#include virtual ...> uses a proxy subrequest to make an HTTP connection. -- Nick Kew
