Off the top of my head, I don't recall any specific 'middleware'
implementations that do this exactly, but it wouldn't be entirely difficult
to make one of your own. If you are familiar with Perl or Python, making a
parallel processing network server is not rocket science, and you have
complete control over the desired protocol.

> For example, a client connects and issues a query like 'show sessions'.
> My server checks if the client has permission (according to a table in

> something else.  The result is then sent back to the client (possibly
> modified).
