You could try setting a reasonable timeout on the listening socket; I  
would override the server_bind method, calling self.socket.settimeout(xxx)  
before calling the inherited method. I've never actually done it with a  
SimpleXMLRPCServer, but *should* work. Don't use a very small timeout,  
because it affects *all* subsequent operations.
