You are supposed to be able to call connect() on a UDP socket.  All it does is store the remote address in the kernel socket structure.  Doing connect() followed by a series of send()s is nominally more efficient than doing a series of sendto()s.

I forgot to mention that the connect()/send() code works just fine if I switch my gunicorn config from gevent to sync workers.
