Most of the complexity is already there, because IPv4 and IPv6 need
separate listen sockets.  Switching from 1 or 2 fds to an array
of N fds would be about the same complexity.  Having the -h flag
add to an array instead of throwing an error on hostname #2 would
also be about the same complexity.  Is there anything else?
