Choose client ports in a well-known range #134

Instead of letting the kernel assign us a port number, request a specific port number and increment until one is available. This makes writing firewall rules easier, when a known number of clients will be in use.

I'm undecided if this should be a configure option (or at least the starting port number) vs. always-on.
