Are you challenging me to build a socat loadbalancer in bash? In all seriousness, I concur. But if you just need to redirect some data streams socat is a rock solid and simple solution.

- marcosdumay 5y agoFrom a quick read of the manpage, I don't think it's possible either, unless you mess with EXEC or create multiple listeners to a single address. Anyway, the Linux kernel does have a builtin loadbalancer in the form of shared sockets that you can socat outside of the machine. But I wouldn't call that a socat loadbalancer.
