user80151: Running Ubuntu 17.10 server
bitcoin.conf contains a setting: rpcport=<port>
Is there any way to cause bitcoind (0.16) to listen on multiple RPC ports at the same time?
example: rpcport=1234,1235,1236
Currently, the wait-timeout prevents new connections to the RPC server until the old one times out. I want to avoid that by having clients use different ports.
If there is another (better) way to reduce/eliminate the wait-timeout, please advise.
Thank you.

user51673: Try and use iptables instead! Just forward the port secondary ports to the primary.
