I'm pretty sure it would work as written, actually.

The custodians have this structure:

(root
  (server (servlets servlet_1 ... servlet_n)
             (connections conn_1 ... conn_n)))

The first request to a servlet starts off under the connections, but
when the server realizes it is a servlet, it creates a new custodian
with a different parent to evaluate the module in. If the module
created the limit manager, then the subsequent conns would be able to
communicate with it.
