[cups.bugs] Re: [MOD] STR #1169: not possible to start several

CUPS 1.2 supports domain sockets.  The symtax in the cupsd.conf file is:

    Listen /path/to/socket

Then you set the ServerName to the same path in /etc/cups/client.conf, the
CUPS_SERVER environment variable, or by calling cupsSetServer() in your
program.

As for the localhost authentication, it is possible to not bind to
localhost, but then you'll have to provide a username and password when
you do any admin request.  You can also bind to different ports, however
the certificate-based authentication will not work properly (you can't
share cert directories, and the client only looks at one cert directory)
