What are the implications of changing max_connections to 300 in afinet.c in the routine make_afinet_source? I am wanting this to be able to be used by 300 (or maybe a little more) computers for remote logging.
Worst case is that each of your 300 source connections has data in it, maximum 20 messages, so you should increase your log_fifo_size to 6000. the memory usage of this should be around 6000*200*1.5 (with 200 bytes average log message and 50% overhead) that's 2megs of memory per destination.
I tried changing the max_connections in afinet.c from 10 to 11, and it will no longer compile when I do this. It seems to throw errors from make_class saying that there is no file or directory. If I change it back to 10, it will still not compile. (It compiles before the change to 11.) No other changes from the standard 1.4.7. Any thoughts? Matthew M. Copeland
