I need to be able to run servers that are required to bind to specific, well-known, reserved ports that are within the Linux ephemeral port range. If some client connection happens to be using one of those reserved ports, then the server will be unable to run. At least that's what my googling and reading have led me to believe. Is that wrong? Can a server bind to a and listen on a local port that is already in-use as the source port for a TCP connection? I guess I should test it... -- Grant
