Hi I’m using NodePort Service on Pod  
and the configuration is like below  
port : 8006  
targetPort :8006  
nodePort : 8006

I know the default range of nodePort is 30000~39999  
but it’s nessesary to be 8006

anyway, for that, I also add some option to the configuration of api-service like below  
( --service-port-range = 3000~39999 )

after that, nodePort service up, I noticed status of service like below  
Type: warning  
Reason: PortOutOfRange  
From: Portallocator-repair-controller  
Messeage: Port 8006 is not within the port range 30000-32767;

Type: warning  
Reason: PortNotAllocated  
From: Portallocator-repair-controller  
Messeage: Port 8006 is not allocated

is this just warning for recomendation for using 30000-32767  
or  
could be caused serious problems on App?
