In an ideal world dynamic services would have a range of ports reserved for them. We're quite a way away from an ideal world here.
There are ports for that.All ports above 49151 are designated for local (i.e. client) or dynamic (i.e. dynamic servers) use.
People usually think of that as the client range, but actually it is NOT intended to be restricted to clients.
