This is an interesting concept, but how do they do that without
requiring some sort of asynchronous approach where the server
communicates back with the client in a new request? (basically
switching roles)

Does it require special code on the client? Does it require the
client to poll the server?

Yes they do.  Some of the app servers (Jetty for sure) also manage connections the same way i manages jobs (i.e., requests that are waiting for backend I/O are shuffled off to a separate pool and the sockets are reused for other requests).  This allows concurrent requests to scale beyond the number of TCP/IP ports available.
