No, it's not possible; various software that provide this functionality
(for example, multiple ListenAddr tokens in sshd_config) all create
several sockets.
As a matter of fact, I think this kind of functionality would be
extremely useful to incorporate into SocketFactory wheel. It should not
matter for SocketFactory users whether there is one or many listening
sockets because all they get is a connected socket; it looks like a
useful relatively high-level extention.
