Anything is possible but there is no o/s that I'm aware of that does that. Its not that it would be that hard to do, its just that 99% of the time it'd make no sense and just add overhead and security issues and it would be a surprising implementation of the socket api. o/s people tend to try and not pull rabbits out of their hats unnecessarily.
