I remember having the control-sockets on localhost only (before I 
noticed the failed HA).

As far as I understand: if the stork-agent runs on the same box, the 
control-socket on localhost is even better, right?

We run in a protected LAN, and I know a few bigger risks than this, but 
just to learn and improve ... ;-)
