Not easily that I can think of. Something between the two that passes
connections but filters queries might be reasonably easy to make. I see
two possible problems with this on the server side though. First, if
those are coming in separate connections then you have to either delay for
the first query or pay the cost of making a database backend even if
you're going to drop it if its a duplicate. Second, if it's possible for
two client instances to send the same query then you could break the
application in the other direction where the second client gets no
response.
