if you try to start up a second daemon on that port you'll get a EADDRINUSE on the bind
While we talk about theoretical possibilities, this statement is not always true. You could specify something else than INADDR_ANY here:
serverINETaddress.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY); /* Accept all */
or bind it to a specific network interface (SO_BINDTODEVICE). Then you can bind a second daemon to the same port, but with a different (and again not INADDR_ANY) local address or network interface. Many daemons can do this nowadays (named, ntpd, etc.).
