I'm not so sure that SO_REUSEADDR is a good idea. That TIME_WAIT state is there for a reason, and overriding it can lead to exactly the sort of situation it was designed to prevent. My preferred solution, when I get an EADDRINUSE error when one of my server processes starts up, is to keep running anyway, and simply retry the bind every 60 seconds until it succeeds.
