Isn't this more of a limitation of TCP/IP than FreeBSD? because you
need to treat the srcip/srcport/dstip/dstport as a unique value, and
in your test, you are only changing one of the four... Have you tried
running a second we server on port 8080, and see if you can connect
another ~64000 connections to that port too?
