Right now, I'm bound by non-disclosure agreement not to reveal the
specifics, but I can say this: its like an online casino where the players
can compete against each other. I need to have potentially a thousand or
more simultaneous open sockets at a time.  I origianlly started with a
java application, but it coudln't handle the numbers I needed, so I'm
rewriting the whole thing in C. What I was thinking of doing was having
maybe 10 or 20 threads each listening to 50 to 100 sockets (using an
fd_set and select). Is this a good way to go, or is there a more efficient
way?
