TCP/IP Sockets -- maintaining multiple connections?

[David Gibbs <David.Gibbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok folks, here's a good one for ya...
 
I'm in the process of writing a generic communications API (in RPGLE) that
addresses the bsd sockets interface.
 
Most of the sockets routines address the socket itself for identification,
which I have no problem at all with.
 
However, the accept() routine wants a socket AND server address.  
 
I have no particular problem providing the server address information... but
how would I maintain MULTIPLE connections, to different servers,
simultaneously (not actually at the same time... read from server 1, read
from server 2, write to server 1, write to server 2, etc).  I'm unsure as to
how I should maintain the different server data structures.
 
Any advice would be appreciated.
