A+P is for home gateways, not for servers.   That said, most uses of A+P exclude the well-known port range for assignment to home gateways, so if for some strange reason you wanted to do A+P with servers, you could allocate those ranges to servers.   This is not a common or expected use of A+P, however, so this is kind of moot.   The essential point of A+P is that it creates deterministic mappings, which makes carrier-grade NAT less painful and more predictable.   It really only makes sense in the context of a dual-stack transition model, where you would always prefer IPv6 for flows between hosts that support it.
