what do you mean by dynamic port numbers?

If you wanted to switch ports on the fly you would announce the service 
once again but with a different port and let other applications update 
their port configuration accordingly.

One nice mDNS feature in the case of multiple instances of the same 
service (on 2 machines for example) is that it automatically appends 
numbers at the end of service's names to avoid name clashes.
