How Can I share a socket between childs?

Hello guys!

I had seen some posts at this forum talking about my problem, but maybe my scenario is a little different, and I want other solutions.

I saw users of this forums saying that the way to shared sockets is using UNIX Sockets, but this is the only way in my scenario?

My Scenario:

I have a process that is the server. Server accepts clients (sockets) and then call to fork. If two clients connects to my server, parent process will have two childs, and now is my problem, one of this child need to send a message to the another child.

First, I thinked that I could save fd socket in share memory, and then using this fd in another child I'll be able to send messages to another client, but doesn't works...

Any ideas?? Thanks!

PD: Sorry for my bad english
