What makes you optimize this part of the code(Socket creation), IMO creating socket for every IVR instance is a good idea and it won't affect the start of your application much.
if you want to make your script efficient/optimize there may be other areas in your script where you have to look in for optimization.
storing the socket handle, database handle etc; for later re-use is not needed in this case.
because if you take IVR other side caller is not going to be a machine; 99% of the times it would be human, to create and initialize a socket it won't take that much of time (it would happen in micro seconds or even less), the caller or you wouldn't even see a delay in execution speed of the script in this socket creation and initialization part.

And what will happen will not fail to happen, however much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom therefore is to stay quiet.
