There may be a catch if your clients are mobiles or within another NAT-ed network. Most mobile providers hide their users behind NAT-gateways, so the connecting "client IP" is the gateway of the provider. Depending on the logic and number of routers/router IPs, it may be a problem or not. We had some problems with mobile providers at argentinia, where the oversimplified logic (port= ++lastport) of the gateway caused some trouble with a few hundreds of devices. That was some years ago and they managed to solve it after some time. So a small port range may be a good idea if you are planning to have a huge amout of connections. regards Steve
