Is this something Jong's working on?

I'd like to avoid investing a lot of time in something specific to our
architecture; I'll talk to Jong (or whoever at IBM is involved with this) to
see if I can lend assistance. WRT to the ultimate solution, do you have a
general design in mind now, or just know that one thread per listener isn't
