That's the whole point of using xinetd.

$ man xinetd

NAME
       xinetd - the extended Internet services daemon

SYNOPSIS
       xinetd [options]

DESCRIPTION
       xinetd performs the same function as inetd: it starts programs that
provide Internet services.  Instead of having such servers started
at system initialization  time, and be dormant until a connection
request arrives, xinetd is the only daemon process started and it
listens on all service ports for the services listed in its
configuration file. When a request comes in, xinetd starts the
appropriate server.  Because of the way it operates, xinetd (as
well as inetd) is also referred to as a super-server.
