It's not really strange nor random.

dcache has settings for:
dcache.net.wan.port.min = 20000
dcache.net.wan.port.max = 25000
dcache.net.lan.port.min = 20000
dcache.net.lan.port.max = 25000
(valued copied from one of my testpools)

when .wan. is for wan-safe protocols and xrootd being unsafe is .lan.
If the pool has max-min less than the amount of movers allowed, the pool 
will run out (and it will give a nice error message).

If will eventually recover when the other transfers end and ports are freed.

Ask the dcache admin to fix this.
