Let’s assume you have 2 processes: P1 and P2. Let’s further assume that in P1, there is a thread T1 that is already sending messages to the ‘single’ server. Now, in P2 there is a thread T2 whose message you also want to go to this server.

Easiest would be to create an extra inbound tcp/ip thread T3 in P1. Change T2 into an (outbound) tcp/ip thread which will send all its messages to T3 (server: localhost). Then have T3 route all its inbound messages towards T1 and you’re done.

Hope this helps.
