When porting pppd, I did this regularly; I used an alternative pfinet
server but continued to use the default pipe server.  I don't see why
you think it would be normal to want to override all of these.  Even
in your specific case of virtualizing the network, I suspect you only
want to override pfinet.

Or you use an environment variable that is based on a stem and the
protocol number.  So instead of SOCK_INET_SERV_PATH,
SOCK_SERV_%d_PATH.  Perhaps it is best to support both.  The number of
protocol is not increasing at a terribly fast rate.

This is better.
