I'm planning on adding a TIdTCPServer to one of my applications, but not 
doing anything with it except occasionally turning on or off its Active 
property.  Another application will periodically connect to it, but no data 
is sent between the two.  I know the component will allocate buffers and 
other resources, but would the fact that I don't plan on actually reading 
from these connections ever cause problems with managing those resources? 
(I've followed this pattern in other applications, but never using the Indy 
library, so thought I should check.)

One other question about TIdTCPServer.  The port it listens on is called 
"DefaultPort".  The use of the word "default" in the property's name is a 
bit disturbing, as though it could end up listening on some other port 
instead.  Is that just a misnomer?  From a server application, I need to be 
able to trust what port it's listening on.


(If you're curious, the seemingly unused connections are there for alarming 
purposes.  Whenever my application is up and running smoothly, it will have 
a server listening on a port.  Whenever it runs into problems, it will shut 
off that port.  A separate alarming application periodically checks the 
status of all our applications by seeing whether it can connect to their 
alarming ports.  Since status is reported simply by whether or not 
connections are allowed, no further data needs to be sent.)
