That seems reasonable. I see nothing about working with "ephemeral ports" in the node/iojs docs, but suspect server.listen(0) (which listens on a "random" port) and then then connecting to whatever's in server.address() would be the way to do that. Assuming there isn't a better way I'll give that a try.
