I've been running a server with lots of databases and pooled connections and ran into the file-max limit because each db connection opened a number of file handles. I experimented with that and never noticed any ill effects of setting the number quite high. We never had any reason to test anything higher than 25000, since that worked out quite nice on a p3 800 with 512 mb ram.
