Look for "UNIX Domain Properties".

SolutionMany application suites use multiple daemons, these daemons can exist on different machines or on the same machine. For instance samba and winbind, the smbd deamon will use a unix domain socket to communicate with winbind. Mysql uses a named pipe if I'm not mistaken to communicate internally. You will see a file named mysql.sock which is essentially the same as the tcp socket socket when you get down to brass tacks. The only difference is the named pipe shows up in an ls.
Typically you want to worry about the external sockets, so you filter the netstat results to omit unix sockets if you have a lot of connections. I use these switches:
netstat -pantu inet
Gives me lots of info excluding all the socket connections for internal process communication.

Re: Unix Socket Domains ?
#netstat -pantu
or
#netstat -pantu --inet
But I usualy use the lsof
like ex:
#lsof -i
this will show all open net connection have a look at man lsof if this tool is on your system this tool can do a lot for you.
