Hello,

I was wondering, how can I increase the number of connections that  
Mongrel can accept? Because i’ve been getting alot of timeouts from  
mongrel when trying to access a service and it appears there’s alot of  
connections trying to use it at the same time. By default isn’t the max  
connections 100?

Thanks  
M
