I am not sure tha it is a select() limit. I routinely run tests with 2000 tcp connections under Fedora and it works well. An issue, of course, is the per-process file handle limit, which (on many systems) is 1,024. In current releases, you can simple increase that limit via the $MaxOpenFiles directive: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-rsconf1_maxopenfiles.html I have to admit I have not tested with more than 2,000 TCP connections.
