I was thinking of a dict or list _global_ to the StreamRequestHandler.handle() method.

I'm busy developing a test/mock harness for a financial switch. Currently it caters only for messages from the client to the harness and then back. I need to add functionality that when an _external_ message arrives, the switch can determine which client it needs to send the data to.
