I don't fully understand connection pooling but we do have maintain connections enabled. We are not a web host. We are an application service provider. Each of our customers has their own database which means unique DSNs. We've run into some issues with the max simultaneous requests but we have a 2 node webfarm to reduce the load on each server.

I don't work in shared hosting environments, though. I suspect that the number of datasources, by itself, is not going to be where you run into problems first. If all those datasources are active, though, and each is configured to maintain connections, I wouldn't be surprised to see problems with connection pooling. This will be more dependent on the specific database servers you're using than anything else, I think.
