Yup.  If that's true (I haven't read the config file),  a "host:port"
pair means e.g. "localhost:9999", while a "unix domain socket" would be
something like "/a/path/to/zeo.sock'

The 'socket-name' key in the <runner> section is not related to ZEO.
Ignore it.

The 'address' when set to a unix domain socket value needs to point to
the socket file that the ZEO server creates (if it is configured to do
so; it has its own configuration file).  The 'address', when set to a
"hostname:port" setting must point to the host name and port on which
the ZEO server is listening (again, see the ZEO server configuration).
