Is there any way to support multiple clients?

@cckelly sure, just have it fire off each listener client - you can see something that does so at https://stackoverflow.com/a/5339885

Interesting - is that not synchronous though? I didn't think you could use threads in an async context.

Ah nevermind - looks like ThreadPool is commonly used for async I/O. Thanks for your help!
