What if it was a seperate program than CircleMUD acting as a hub to
handle all connections and then pass them on to the fork'd CircleMUD
(modified to receive these handed down connections) to handle. Now for a
development mud that is accessed when going into wizard mode or what have
you, the hub program passes your connection to the other fork'd mud (this
one would be maybe a building area or a testing-of-new-code area).
I'm not much of a C or network expert (yet, heh) so I leave these ideas
to someone more knowledgeable to throw down or to take into consideration.
