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.  

I also need to make it so that if it loses a connection it will queue the
information until it reconnects probably upto some bound.  If I change the
fifo length upto something much larger, is it going to cause a problem?
