Sadly, no. It's proprietary code. But, it's really not that complicated
to reconstruct, once you know the basic idea. You have a DualSocket class
whose constructor creates two sockets. It exposes (roughly) the same
interface as a socket object, but decides which underlying
protocol-specific socket to delegate to based on the address family of the
sockaddr you give it.
Oh, yeah, this was done in C++, but there's nothing really that's language
specific in the implementation.
