How to initialize each multithreading Pool worker with an individual value?

this port number is supposed to be used once, namely during
initialization. Quite usual situation with conections is so, that it
is a bit expensive to initiate it each time the connection is about to
be used. So, it is often initialized once and dropped only when all
communication is done.

In contrast, your case looks for me that you rather propose to
initiate the connection each time a new job comes from queue for an
execution.
