Hi there,

	In the online FAQ in section 9.21 you mention you can use
'socket' to forward requests for a service to another machine.
This example seems to use inetd (/etc/inetd.conf or similar).
What is the preferred solution when the service is started outside
of this daemon keeping in mind the points raised in section 9.20
about forward services but the destination address of the packet
remaining intact?

	Thanks,
