Thanks GrayHat, I made most of the changes suggested below. Suppose the connections are ligitimate, how can I know if the box can handle more connections. I mean what can be the indicators that would show for example that the server can handle 300 parallel connection. If we have an ASSP server put under stress test, how much parallel sessions it can handle before it's overloaded ?
