When is it wise to raise the default 
Agent.maxConnections<http://nodejs.org/api/net.html#net_server_maxconnections>limit
 from 5? What are the risks/tradeoffs?

The discussions/opinions I found on this are pretty old, and even within 
those answers I couldn't find a clear answer.

I have a simple server that is largely a proxy and aggregator for an 
external API. Each call to my app makes several parallel calls to the 
external API. My server is otherwise doing nothing else to tax the CPU or 
raise memory, so I'm inclined to bump up the limit so as not to start 
blocking once I have just 3 or 4 connections. What can potential problems 
can I expect? 

Thanks,
-Jed
