Chris, André, Eric, etc, A few random thoughts.
First, this is really a MySQL driver thing, not a Tomcat thing. If you want to know why the driver does what it does, look at the driver source. There is actually a Socket constructor that allows you to specify the local port. I don't know why you would do that, but it's there. Second, it does appear to be possible for there to be multiple connections using the same source port as long as they go to different destinations. Just read through the various links that people have provided. Honestly it blows my mind that that's even possible, but that just shows how little I know about networking. How does the client OS route return packets correctly if they have the same source port?
