in thread local socket

OK, thanks. It's a mostly-ignored argument to bind(). It never occured to me to use it to select for localhost.

Now I wonder if more than one listener can exist at the same time on the same port, with mutually exclusive addresses? So get one listener optomized for local connections, and one that works for all clients.

    Yes. I believe that you can even have one listener bound to a specific address and another bound to INADDR_ANY and connections will come only to the listener that is "most specifically" appropriate. However, this last case is the type of stuff that I never find documented.
