[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Look at vtkServerConnection::SetupDataServerRenderServerConnection()
in ParaView/Servers/Common/vtkServerConnection.cxx. This method
initializes the connections. The actual connections are established by
vtkMPIMToNSocketConnection
(ParaView/Server/Common/vtkMPIMToNSocketConnection.cxx)
