this port number is supposed to be used once, namely during initialization. Quite usual situation with conections is so, that it is a bit expensive to initiate it each time the connection is about to be used. So, it is often initialized once and dropped only when all communication is done. In contrast, your case looks for me that you rather propose to initiate the connection each time a new job comes from queue for an execution.
