samba - Dec 2013 - can I let all winbindd processes accept connections like nginx does

Hi list,


I'm using samba3.6.12.
I find that seems only the parent winbindd process can accept connections, and
it dispatches connections to his child.
besides it only dispatches connections to the completely idle
child(find_idle_child).


AFAIK, nginx lets all its processes to accept connections, so it has a good
performance.
I'm wondering can I modify some winbindd code to let all winbindd processes
to accept connections and then handles the request.
If it is possible, I think I can get a better performance winbindd.


I want to do this because I'm doing NTLM authentication using winbindd and I
found winbindd's performance doesn't meet my requirement.
I expect more than 1000 authentication transaction per second.


so, can anybody give me some guide on this and tell me whether my plan is
practicable.


Thanks! really appreciate any help!
