Description
We've recently encountered an issue with our application which was caused by its inability to bind a specific port (8081). Apparently, this port was temporary used by consul-template.
It would be nice to limit consul-template port binding to specific ephemeral port range to avoid conflicts with other applications.
Thank you.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the consul-template client connection setup and its existing port-binding configuration; determine how a configurable ephemeral port range would be exposed and verify that connections stay within the requested range without conflicting with other applications.
