Hi,

I'd like to bat around some pros / cons of selecting xinetd to implement a
socket server.  From my perspective the list is something like this:

xinetd pros
 . no need to rewrite forking functionality, 'server' can be written as
simple php script
 . forking potentially faster than php-based implementation

xinetd cons
 . time tradeoff learning xinetd configuration vs coding in support directly
in php implementation
 . potentially less maintainable depending on staff, likely php dev team
more capable of maintaining 100% php solution

Interested in your thoughts!
