Hell yes!

var io = require('socket.io')(http);

In our legacy system the Motif clients and the web map all established a 
connection to the node server and passed data back and forth. 

socket.request.connection.remoteAddress

is the IP of the machine originating the connection. Using that to match 
up the messages the map would only display the incidents and resources 
that dispatch had active since everything on that machine was connected 
via the server.

The map in the browser used the socket.io library. The Motif clients made 
a standard socket connection and sent a file with a 

Content-Type: application/json

header.

Of course the server also provided static files and other data common to 
the map.  

The updated product was strictly browser based and done in Angular so that 
introduces protobufs and so forth to the game. The map was integrated. The 
Motif clients didn't need a map or interaction with a node server; that 
was all a configurable option. The Angular product definitely needed nginx 
and a lot more wiring.  The daemons remained the same.
