This is currently possible with the following api:\r\n\r\n    var handle = net._createServerHandle('127.0.0.1', 4242, 4);\r\n    child.send('x', handle);\r\n\r\nI guess that the underscore indicates that this isn't a supported interface. Would it be possible to have a supported way to do this - I'd be happy to send a pull request if this is deemed to be a good thing. It could be as simple as removing the underscore, or could be a `bind` method on the net.Server class.\r\n\r\nThanks\r\n\r\nTom","assignee":null,"id":2481333,"number":2289,"pull_request":{"patch_url":null,"html_url":null,"diff_url":null},"labels":[{"name":"feature-request","color":"0b02e1","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/joyent/node/labels/feature-request"},{"name":"net","color":"e10c02","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/joyent/node/labels/net"}],"title":"Stable interface for binding a socket without listening","html_url":"https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/2289","closed_at":"2011-12-10T09:14:27Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/joyent/node/issues/2289","milestone":null},"action":"closed"}
