should help a bit, but unfortunately there is not very much which can be done to help this situation if your user base requires more than 20 concurrent connections to fulfill their browsing demands.
What you can do is to enforce similar limits on your users to make sure no user can hog all the connections. You can enforce this kind of limits on your users by using the maxconn acl. A suggested limit is 6 connections per user.
The reason this is needed is because while it is known that for example MSIE by default only uses at most 4 connections at a time the registry has often been changed to make the browser try to open "unlimited" number of connections. And there is also so called "download accelerators" doing the same thing.
