If you realy want to use that much port numbers, then I'd like to see 
the machine and network that handles that number of sessions.

If it is just for administrative purposes, then donnot use fixed port 
numbers. Better use the inetd-way: Have Xvnc started from inetd. Every 
user can just point to the same portnumber to get a session. That user 
will get a fresh session and the session is cleared after the user 
disconnects. This sessions donnot use the vnc 'security', it usses the 
same login session as the console. For what it is worth: most current 
linux distributions have such a setup available so check your 
distribution for details.

If you need a 'sticky' session, a session that is re-entrant and keeps 
running when you disconnect, or a session that can be accessed from more 
than 1 viewer, you only need a couple of those, definitly not more than 10.
