The database broker will start the server for remote connections when needed by default. You can control the database server ports my using -minport portnumber and -maxport portnumber when starting the database. If you don't set the minport and maxport, the servers will start at the lowest available port and move up to the next available port when the next server is needed. The portnumbers will be unpredictable.
