Thank you so much
Yes, this plugin is what I am looking for process pool

"""
This plugin provides ways to create a process pool service in your
system listening on a given port and interface and answering to a
given set of commands.

So I just need to inherit from
AMPConnector and have a trully scalable server!
Two more questions:
What's the mechanism of 'registring' multiple twisted servers
(something similar to a Name server in Corba) -- so an event
dispatching client can 'discover' the servers running on
multiple machines
And how does one run multiple XAMPP servers in twisted -- such
that work to each server is distributed either by a hash on a user
name or some other way (or does such mechanism exist).
thank you again for such a helpful reply.
