I would imagine that a socket inside the container bound to one outside 
was intended to allow a process inside to talk to a listener outside,
but not to allow a process outside to talk to a listener inside.
I would expect a listener running in the container to use a TCP socket
for outside processes to access it.

But then, I know little about docker or any other container system.
