GOAL:
How many ports needs to be open for the maxNSClientPort and minNSClientPort port range for the NameServer?
FIX:
For example if you have 50 agents and you want to narrow down the maxNSClientPort and minNSClientPort port range, you should leave the range to be something like 50 plus 50% for queuing cgiip.exe requests, which would give 75.
This because the NameServer can leave Messenger request more that the number of Agents. So for a rule of tomb the maxNSClientPort and minNSClientPort port range will be the maximum numbers of concurrent connection at the peak time. Since you can have maximum 50 Agents in use at the same time, the range must be more than 50 due to (as I said) the waiting Messenger requests.
So to be on the sure side, make the range at least 75 ports in this case.
To find out you can use the web server log files and monitor the Agents and see what numbers of users are connected at the peak time.
