   Not with any implementation of "sockets" I've seen.  A "socket" is an   
   interface between the user and the underlying protocol.  In the case   
   of TCP and sockets, each distinct TCP connection (four tuple of   
   local/remote IP, local/remote port) will be a distinct socket.   
      
   Now, those distinct sockets will/may have been created via the one   
   socket connected to a TCP endpoint in the LISTEN state.
