MaxChannels and MaxActiveChannels are global parameters. They specify the maximum values regardless of how many listeners you have running or indeed use inetd. There is no MQ parameter which limits the number that can connect to a single listener. In 5.3 you can have a single listener to handle all your inbound channels regardless of how many there are. In this case the connection is farmed out to a pool of channel processes. There are parameters to control how many are farmed out to each process but we don't document them 'cos in general you don't need to know.

I believe (someone will correct me if I am wrong) the numbers that are set for MAxChannels and MAxActiveChannels are for a single port. So, in your example, you will have max 5000 channels.
