um... that's what the idea of the unix-domain socket is for.  in fact,
what i want to do is to have one daemon be capable of listening to
_multiple_ unix-domain sockets.

i made a mistake by having one daemon per socket: i actually wanted to
create servicesd which deals with \PIPE\srvsvc, \PIPE\wkssvc and
\PIPE\browsess because they're really trivial.

yep!

yep.
