I hear a rumour that FastCGI has built-in support for doing things with sockets (as opposed to just HTTP).

Has anyone here tried this?

If so, is it suitable as a quick-and-easy for multiplayer games?

Have you looked into node.js for multiplayer server stuff?

huh?  FastCGI is just a more efficient version of CGI, which is where you can write a program in any language so long as it groks what a CGI app has to do.  FastCGI improves on this by having long lived applications instead of starting a process for each request, it can spawn n processes which each process requests without needing to terminate.

No, not so far. Do you recommend it?
