I am a little curious of how you do things;

1. How does the deamon communicate with the nio-process (I guess you
are forking a processes in the deamon, when a client is connecting and
asking for a "service"?)

2. How does the nio-process "draw things" - communicate back first to
deamon and then the deamon sends messages to the client?
