How can one determine the best smallest port range? As Paul pointed out that depends on how many remote connections (ABL / SQL) you have and how many remote servers you need to handle those connections. In his case you would need -minport/maxport range of 7. Plus 2 ports for primary and secondary broker, eg 9 port in total. If the database is going to be remotely monitored by OE Management as scripted database, you need an extra port for _dbagent. You can use TCPView from www.sysinternals.com to see what ports are opened and by what process and direction. On Unix, netstat, lsof, tcpdump. For the appserver (more or less same for other unified brokers) - depends on the config.
