No, you read it wrong. If you increase the number of simultaneous masq
entries allowed (4096 by default) then you must lower the first port
number assigned (61000 by default) so that
PORT_MASQ_BEGIN + max_number_of_conns < 65535
If you increate the number of conns to 8192, then you'd reduce the
starting port number to (say) 56900. 16384 and 49000. And so forth.
