Yep.

There is no shared data between distinct tcp::iostream objects, so there should
be no problem.

My only question for you is how many concurrent connections do you expect to
have? Just one at a time for each of the services, with each service using an
iterative server design? If you might have more than one concurrent connection
per service then you're going to need more than two threads.
