Just open a single client server on the ports you don't what anyone to use....
You'll have to do it in a separate thread however and that could start to consume resources...else it will block waiting for an accept. Or, you could create server using the IO::Select method and wait for connects but I think that limits you to max of 255 open servers at once.
