Just for reference.  The high performance game networking library
(very low level type access, yet very high level creation, very well
made) RakNet, has successfully had over 100,000 connections at once
(admittedly, most are idle, just a 'ping' every thirty second to keep
the connection active).  It is pure UDP based, and yet it is reliable.
 This is all on only one port, hence, one port is the best design to
go with, there are a great deal of examples out there that prove this.
