[Tutor] More network server questions

[Ewald Ertl]

Hello,

	after looking into the docs of ServerSocket,
the class TCPServer notes the following class attributes:

Class variables that may be overridden by derived classes or
instances:

- address_family
- socket_type
- request_queue_size (only for stream sockets)
- allow_reuse_address

so, I think you've to set the allow_reuse_address for the TCPServer and
not for the RequestHandler, because this class is newly instantiated for
each request of your server.
The socket itself is bound by the TCPServer.
