I even tried to bind it to different IP addresses on the local machine (using alias), but still he max connections with ephemeral ports wont go over the port_range value. But, if I specify a port while binding with different IP address, then I am able to reuse the port. So it seems like the ephemeral port selection part in the kernel only provides a max of net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 3000 64000 values.
