I had also faced the same problem some time ago. To use the SimpleXMLRPCServer as a multithreaded server, I just changed the SocketServer.TCPServer to SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer in the definition of the SimpleXMLRPCServer class and it worked fine for me. But it was on Python 2.2 and I haven't tried on later versions.
