Thanks a lot, Jader. Your hint saved me hours of additional headache after our site was almost unusable due to NGINX throwing tens of thousands of "24: Too many open files" errors.
I chose to set *worker_rlimit_nofile* to 65536 = 2^16 for peace of mind :-) It's important to note, that the *worker_connections* count needs to be adapted as well, so that connections now won't be dropped because of a too low value here. Since we're running on a VPS with only a single core, we set *worker_connections* to 65536, as well. From the moment I reloaded those two changes into the NGINX process, I haven't had any of "too many open file errors. I've put together a short blog post on this here: → http://shades-of-orange.com/post/2013/06/24/Setting-up-NGINX-as-Reverse-Proxy-for-CampingInfo.
