If you support the file descriptor representation, then you can use the shell's redirection feature to set up the file descriptors in the child process. There is nothing that you have to add.
The first step of my plan is to support a list of string path like "SERVERS_SOCKET_PFINET="path1:path2". And after that I may consider support the fd:x semantic, where x should be a fd that is already opened. So, we need not to start any program in the code for overriding, but just query a port from either a path or a fd.
I proposed two solutions in last mail. In solution a), the translator is > started chrooted.

We discuss an example where this causes problem in the critique (think: client with a different global name space looks up .. at the translator's root).
So a port of /chroot is returned to the client? If the client can access /chroot/foo, I think it can also access /chroot, or you may mean that *foo*has a different parent node in the client's name space, which I think can not be achieved by chroot.
