The usual way to do what you describe is a simple scheme with a
callback. There's no need to use exotic things like asynchronous calls
and so on.

The client submits the request which triggers an application thread to
do the work, then immediately returns. When the server is finished, it
calls the client back to indicate that it's finished.

There's an example of callbacks in src/examples/call_back.

Cheers,

Duncan.
