This is interesting. I'm working on a project that will need to connect
to 2 different servers and to speed things up (being ssl) I was hoping to
be able to do this simultaneously.

I need my web visitor to hit a button and be able to enter information
on another server while at the same time my system is looking up data
in a database on a third server.

Would this be the sort of thing possible with PHP (my server uses apache2
with CGI) or would it have to use threads?
