That's correct. While you can (with UDP) listen on the same port twice,
it's not a good design and is AFAIK not guaranteed to give you all
packets on both sockets.

You will either have to do it in a single process with a single socket
and do everything there, or have one process that collects everything
from UDP and makes it available to the other processes via some other
IPC means.
