ICE use threads for max speed and cross-platform, but in some critical circumstance(e.g. 7X24 hours server), forking can get more stablity. Although fork will be slower than threads, but fork is still needed.
Can ICE support forking server?

    You can write Ice applications that fork. For an example have a look at Glacier. It has a starter that starts new router processes on demand.

    However, Ice does not have a built-in method for forking itself if a new client connects, like older single-threaded Unix daemons do.

    Thank you very much! I'll have a try.
