Yeah, a little bit dirty, but working solution.

Just realised that keeping track of IP:port pairs in use at
application level is useless, as there could be other software (or
workers) running on the same machine and there's no practical way all
to share all this information among them. Seems, the best place to
keep track of all ip:port utilisation is in the kernel - the only
piece of software that knows everything :(
