The problem with that is that then the clients have to connect to one
of those 10 ports. You might manage that if you have a special client
that has a decent algorithm to balance the use, but if you rely on
humans to do it, it won't work - most will use the first one all the
time. There isn't any way to know which port is the least busy.

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation.
