I assume you are talking about the number of connections for the MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager. There is no real formula that I'm aware of for the number of connections to use. I would suggest load testing, and seeing what works best. We would certainly be interested in any results you come up with.

Hello.
We have a firewall, load balancer, 4 web servers, 6 app servers, 2
database servers, and 2 specialty web servers/app servers on our
production environment. We average 20,000 users a day. We are expecting
to get North of 100,000 users a day once our marketing campaign launches.
The specialty boxes are used to do search and dynamic coloring of images.
We use the dynamic coloring to allow our customers to paint rooms online.
We are using httpclient on the app servers to request resources from the
web servers and the dynamic coloring servers. We transform all the
resources into a Flash movie.
The application used to request the resources and do the transformation is
third party. The maxTotalConnections and maxHostConnections used to be
set at 20 on that application. We have been recommended by the vendor to
change that setting to 1000. That is a significant change. So, my
question is is there any formula or rule of thumb that can be used to set
that number taking into factors such as load, setup, other settings, etc.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
