Singleton/channels

I am creating a server component that will supply one to many clients with events in case certain values in database tables change.

This component will be implemented as a singleton class by a host application (a windows service) on the server machine so I will be sure all the clients receive the same info when they have hooked on to the events.

This component will work over a LAN, so every client needs to know on which channel the server component is broadcasting and have a free channel to receive the events.

The application I am working on is 'real time' (for what that expression is worth...) but this component prevents that more then 1 client is querying the database for the same information. Anyone got any brighter ideas about this ...? Suggestions welcome!

But, my question is about the channels. Does anyone know where I can learn a bit more about them. Which ones are free? Are there fixed channels that I shoud avoid? How do I know if they are free or not? In what range can I select channels?

Thanx for the help, it's appreciated!

The gap between theory and practice is not as wide in theory as it is in practice.
