What?! The ephemeral port range is a limit for _source_ ports (minus any bound service ports of course). As a bound port (server) however, you rely on connecting client-ip:src-port pairs to track connections, not unique source ports on the local system. Either this article is quite wrong, or I missed some key point it was trying to convey (maybe it was subtly inferring something about proxying on each system to other bound services??)...
