In essence, create a custom SocketFactories that returns custom
Sockets that have input/output streams that knows how to interleave
two sets (or more) of traffic over the single established SSL stream
you have. It sounds harder than it is. The tricky bit is to push
performance up, since the flushing from RMI will not necessarily be
the best time to flush the underlying stream. But that can be worked
on later.
