Yup. It's helpful to see the column headers for your netstat output,

Each "unix" protocol-connection (UNIX domain socket) has an associated
inode on the root filesystem, but no path. Basically, it's magic. :)

The nice thing on *NIX is that even though there is a hand-wavy device
supporting NIO for Java, it doesn't consume pairs of ports (which are
a limited resource; see our recent discussion on the limits of TCP
port numbers).
