We can't at the moment, as I explained we can have only one socket and
no configuration support for multiple listen addresses. That's my point.
And while I see that we'll need those, this means someone (probably me)
will have to integrate that in the upsd server. That will take at least
a couple of weeks (in spare time), so until that is ready, I suggest to
keep it as it is, so that we can work out other issues with the same code.
