Trouble with this is that netserver would have to run as root to be able
to bind to the ports; it does that dynamically, so binding at startup
and dropping privileges won't work. Also it would mean that no other
services could run on those ports.

For your use case, my guess would also be differences in the server
connection (or peering), though. I do believe dslreports will open
connections to multiple servers; you could try running one of the
rtt_fair Flent tests against multiple servers to see if you can push
more data that way...
