I guess this is what I meant, when I was talking about increasing the
ranges. Yeah, you can and SHOULD decrease the range as much as you can
get away with for security reasons, but the reality is that at some
point, you have to just call it quits and accept the possibility that
you probably have a least one more port open than you really need. I
don't see any other way around it since there's no way to know how many
connections might occur at an exact time. I guess start low and work up
as necessary.
