Use at least 15360 bits group size for Discrete Logarithm 
Diffie-Hellman if you use a 256 bit block cipher. See various standards 
(especially NIST) cited at http://www.keylength.com/

This is not possible with openssl, because (see bug 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1010607) "their 
crypto/dh/dh.h file has:

#ifndef OPENSSL_DH_MAX_MODULUS_BITS
# define OPENSSL_DH_MAX_MODULUS_BITS    10000
#endif"

it should be 65536. Possibly, other changes need to be made to enable 
the use of such large groups.
