I'm not quite sure where to post this but here goes... I want to implement a non-stateless server over an ethernet running tcp/ip. I want to use RPC because it simplifies a lot of the setting up a lot of procedures, especially with Sun's rpcgen and the XDR stuff. Now as I understand RPC, the client makes a request and gets its results immediately. I wish to make it more stateful ie. a client can receive messages that are the result of another clients request. Is this possible? I would like to avoid polling the server to see if any information is available. (Is this the wrong way to go about it?)
