IIIRC the (non-dynamic) session implemenations that I've seen treat the ca_maxrequests coming from the client as the maximum number of session slots that the client can handle - IOW I don't see servers returning a higher ca_maxrequests than was sent by the client. This is why I chose a larger number for the default. It is, after all, a server resource and shouldn't the client grab as many session slots as it can?
