How many sender or listeners needed while communicaing yahoo or AOL messenger

Asked by Suhashk in Chat / IM Software, Networking Protocols, Unix Networking

Tags: Proxy, Yahoo, AOL

I want to process all messages coming/going  to/from Yahoo or AOL. I have found that the ip of the server changes as I suppose yahoo does the load balancing and connects the user to a particular server making the IP of the vary everytime the user connects.
My application is not a client but a service lying beyond proxy. So my process will take all the request from proxy and does the processing before forwarding the message to yahoo.
Queries in my mind are
1. Whether a single process/thread (sender and listener) would suffice to handle the user communication?
2. I do not want to create threads per user, so what would be best approach.
