Comment (by neel):
I am still interested in this ticket.
I noticed the following options in `connection_check_oos()`:
{{{
get_options()->ConnLimit_high_thresh
get_options()->ConnLimit_
get_options()->ConnLimit_low_thresh
}}}
It seems that the threshold is determined from these values. Should I
modify these values directly should my proposed option (connection limit)
be set, and calculates a threshold based on the set value rather than the
number of file descriptors?
Or should I add new values to the `or_options_t` structure, fill them if
my proposed option is set, and make `connection_check_oos()` use the new
options instead if the proposed option is set.
I prefer the former as it is far simpler, since the latter adds some
complexity but the latter is also less destructive.
Which approach do you prefer?
