Use localhost + random ports as an alternative about kubefwd

I believe you could accomplish that with a shell script and kubectl port-forward. Since you don't need to bind to multiple interfaces or have name resolution kubefwd may be overkill IMO.

Aha... I was thinking that even w/o multi-interface binding and name resolution, it might still be reasonable to leverage other features in kubefwd, e.g. allows to specify namespace, selector, context, kubeconfig, etc. So, an additional argument, say mode=fixed|random, could support both.

But maybe you are right... I haven't thought about that on the other side... To use kubectl w/ shell script or kubernetes client-go may also be feasible... just not sure how much things overkilled...I will explore it. Thanks for your reply!

@morningspace im going to close this. I think a new project forked from kubefwd might be a great way to experiment with this use case. Thanks for the input!

Sure... @cjimti thanks for your time on this!
