As far as I know, no.
I think something like this can be done with the NNTP-based NLDM with
which Anne Wilson is experimenting -- but that system's not yet
operational.

The LDM forks a new process for every connection (it was designed and
built in the days before multithreading). If your system can handle it,
then so can the LDM.
