Indy Server -> client

Hi,

I am trying to use the Indy components (version 10) in a way that they
apparently were not meant for:

I have got a server app that can accept connections from multiple clients.
But in contrast to the normal way of the clients sending a request and the
server answering it, it want the server to keep the connections and send
requests to the clients to which they may or may not answer.

client ----connects to-------> server
client <---receives command--- server
client ----answers-----------> server

I hope you get what I mean. Everything in Indy seems to be geared toward
making this impossible. Can anybody point me in the right direction? An
example would be very helpful.
