Have you looked at the apache source?  It will do something like this
(that is, apache's main process will fork several different children
at startup, and the children do the actual handling of the
connections).  If I remember correctly, apache somehow manages to have
the parent process do the actual accept, and then pass it off to the
child.  (It somehow does this without re-doing a fork() after the
accept).
