RE: Max cfservd connections

[Martin, Jason H]

I actually came upon it while looking at Stunnel since it has a
compiled-in maximum number of file descriptors it will use. That got me
to thinking about cfservd and I checked the code to see if there was a
maximum. I haven't actually hit that number, but wanted to be aware of
what the limit was and why.
