EBT's DynaWeb server is capable of listening on multiple ports and also provides per-port configuration files. This is EXTREMELY useful for our customers who like to have multiple configurations (like graphical and text-only) selectable via the port number. > Its easy to keep all the fd's in an FD_SET, do a select(), and then >determine the fd that the request is coming in on.
