Re: ServerLimit and MaxClients

[Jason Nunnelley <jason@xxxxxxxxxx>]

ServerLimit and MaxClients are relatively light weight (per instance). 
You need to do some math here, and it depends on your resources. The 
math isn't super simple. There's a static amount of cache memory you can 
calculate for each instance. Google and see what folks say about it.

When you max out this number, you get no more instances - no more 
connections until you have more available. When you hit this ceiling 
it's a hard ceiling, the end viewer gets a failure to connect error. So, 
whatever you do you'll want to make sure you have more resources than 
visitors. An inefficient application can waste instances and keep their 
tied up for longer periods of time. People serving simple website page 
views seldom have a problem.

Like I said, the math here is more complex than ServerLimit/MaxClients * 
X = Y.
