One word of warning - spawning too many children too fast can saturate your network so don't write a Denial of Service hack on your own servers!

Are you sure? I seriously doubt that a server could fork off processes at a rate fast enough to saturate a decent network, assuming that all each process does is send normal pings once every few seconds.
