That makes sense, but in that case would it be possible to hook the same server
(pfinet) on two different nodes /servers/sock/inet and /servers/sock/inet6 ?
This would be desired so there wouldn't be two instances of pfinet running
at the same time. Is this possibility already built into the translator
concept?
