Is sharing mysql unix sockets decreasing security on mysql root user?

=== Decreased security ===
Isn't sharing sockets blocking advantages promoted in <blockquote>"As an extra security measure you can use the internal IP-address as well."</blockquote>
I'd actually would like to have mysql reject root user logins unless logging in from VE actually housing mysql server. That's impossible on using Unix sockets since it's always using "localhost" then, isn't it?
