Quoting from:
http://www.net-core.org/39/lua/patching-luasocket-to-make-it-compatible

"It adds a new method “acceptfd” which works just like “accept” but 
instead of returning a socket object it returns  the underlying “file 
descriptor” (a number). A new optional parameter to “socket.tcp()” 
allows to create a socket object from a file descriptor."

So you could accept connections in a given Lua state and process it in a 
different one. Be it by means of using Lanes, LuaProc, or whatever suits 
you.
