   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?

Yes, this is basically what /hurd/term already does when providing pty
pairs.  Basically, what you do is setting the active translator on
/servers/sock/inet when starting the passive translator on
/servers/sock/inet6 and vice versa.  There is a possible race when
both passive translators are activated simultaniously and I'm not 100%
sure the mechanism used by /hurd/term protects against that.
