Hi Neil,

What you are saying is just another way to black list the ports I don't 
want to use. I'm aware of that option (as well as using the -b option) 
but in our particular case we have several systems under test with 
different configurations and we want to use this virtual port only. 
Which seems to be a perfect use case for white listing rather than black 
listing or modifying the system configuration.

As far as I remember this option was available in previous versions.

Thanks,
Nico.
