     Maybe, but what is the limit on open fd's in LINUX?  How about
per-process limits?  OTOH, you might run a couple of copies in VMs, each
running their own LINUX, to get around the host LINUX limits.  But with
as many connections as your Internet link's throughput seems to support,
quadrupling the number of connections in a single host OS will probably
run out of something or other fairly quickly.
     Olaf, you have one wonderful Internet link.  I truly envy you.
