Re: Configure MySQL Server to Listen on Multiple TCP Ports

MySQL server has a process listening on port 3306. Any incoming connections is accepted by the server process which then forks (creates another process) which specifically handles that connection. As a result, a single port can handle many simultaneous connections to the server. You do not need to have multiple ports for each connection.
