10000 sockets. Right.
and everything that I receive in one server I have to write to other in the
same group (replicate data).
So, like a sort of proxy.

Overlapped, and maybee IOCP, non-blocking server. It's the only chance you
have.
5000 services?, application that start 5000 proccesses? threads?)
5000 services/processes/threads is just too much.

About 24k sockets, at least on W2k Pro. Server versions may be better.

I doubt it.
