register many peer-to-peer connections to one object path ?

[Lin YT]

My purpose is to provide a service program to serve many client programs via peer-to-peer connections.

However, dbus-glib binding library seems not allow duplicate registration of a object with a same path.
(Traced into dbus_g_connection_register_g_object(), that do ignore duplicate registration just only by comparison with path name.)

Is it possible to allow setup many peer-to-peer connections to a single object?
Will it be OK, if I add a more criterion for duplicate registration by checking whether or not with identical connections ?


Please tell me if I have wrong concept about relationship of dbus connections and object path.
Thanks very much.

Maybe I am asking a stupid question, 
how can I do with glib-bind to register multiple peer connections to the same object path ?

With dbus daemon, it is easy to setup a service program with a common object path to serve multiple clients.
With peer-to-peer connection, the service program has to setup a connections for per client request with 'dbus_connection_open()'. However, Dbus-Glib would "silently ignore duplicate registrations" within dbus_g_connection_register_g_object().

I hope what described above about 'duplicate registration' will not mislead you. 
What I am really confused is why disallow to register many 'peer-to-peer connections' to one object.

I know "An object path is a name used to refer to an object instance", that is also the reason I do not want to do a workaround with many different path names to avoid the checking of duplicate registrations.
