Funnily enough, Socket::SOMAXCONN() returns 5 on Solaris, but I am
pretty sure that it is not the real limit. It probably comes from
SOMAXCONN in /usr/include/sys/socket.h, but I don't think that it is the
real limit. I have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ndd /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q
1024
Maybe Net::Server should be fixed instead? It probably would be even
better to fix Socket::SOMAXCONN... I don't know if there is a faster way
to find out the real SOMAXCONN than running ndd though. In the mean
time, it would be nice however to have a $listen_queue_size option in
Amavisd-new :-)
