You can use *one* TClientSocket, and in a loop connect to
many servers / pseudo /

loop ( i )
{
   file_client_pointer->Active = false;
   file_client_pointer->Port = 7000;
   file_client_pointer->Host = GetAnotherHost( i );
   file_client_pointer->Active = true;
}

This is just psudo code which in practice has to be
modified to handle exceptions, like fast skiping non-listening
servers, etc.
