Hi David,

how do you intend target service to be started? I understand that the
intended use case case is for non-socket-activatable services, so they
should be started synchronously in the background. In case of local
services normal systemd management (over dbus) would work. In case of
remote systems, maybe too, if dbus over the network was properly
authorized. Do you havy any plans here?

Why not implement this using startand epoll loop?

Since you're proxying all data transfered in both directions, why disallow
multiple sockets?
