I'd really be surprised if that was a problem these days. We have machines that have 10000 connections quite fine. Yes they're fairly loaded servers with fast IO and lots of RAM, but even a pretty basic server should handle 500 connections no problem. Have you actually tested that long lived IDLE connections are a problem? Rob ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
