Yes. Different domains.

Not sure how you meant the two lines above to be read. How could a 
passive connection use the same port as a passive one? That would cause 
just as much conflict as if you have several passive ones.

However, thanks for the details. Seems like Multinet do not share the 
passive port between connections then. Same as my current code. So maybe 
I'll just leave it as it is for now then.
