 Why not? The whole point of fork(2) is that all the processes are
effectively clones. If you put all the client context into shared memory
sections, then it becomes possible for any process to service any client.
 Of course, I’m assuming that all the processes can share the same network
socket connections. This might not be true under VMS ...

That is not how Apache prefork MPM works.
It is not how the newer worker and event MPM's work either.
The end state sounds more like how single process multi-thread
works.
And I don't understand the "put all the client context into
shared memory" either. Are you saying that if socket descriptors
are put in shared memory then any process that map that memory
can use those sockets????
