This is not possible with OpenSSL, you have save SSL_SESSION objects
in an external cache, which allows "session resumption", saving CPU
cost of complex PKI handshakes, but there is no support for migrating
SSL connections between processes, the state of the symmetric cipher,
buffered encrypted and decrypted data, ... are not serializable.
