A little more challenging than once thought..

Cannot put request object on the stack - Need malloc/free in init/dest for requests
Make sure there's a handshake between server's handler thread and coordinator's main thread
Once handshake happens, coordinator can move the request onto its own worker thread (need to still call destruct.. when? who should own the desctructor?)

Is this necessary? Measure how much time handle_request() takes. Should be fairly fast.

Adding threading to server would make coordinator more complicated than need be..

Run tests to see what maximum (likely) wait time can be.
