Long has it been the case that people have wanted the ability to create special devices and sockets in AFS, yet due to the non-portability of these we haven't been able to do it.
Can I suggest we consider 1) allowing these to be created but not sent to the server 2) if created locally they would cover a later file of the same name if one is created 3) when disconnected AFS persists data across reboots, it be used to persist this data on the local client. 4) until then, and even then for memcache, a config file which is updated as these are created and removed, and reread at AFS start to recreate state.
