This link on Microsoft specifies this very issue.. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314882 It also says " The connection limit refers to the number of redirector-based connections and is enforced for any file, print, named pipe, or mail slot session. The TCP connection limit is not enforced, but it may be bound by legal agreement to not permit more than 10 clients. "
Doesn’t this solidify our point that the connection limit is not for Http connections? If used with IIS (a Microsoft product), it might be possible that they are enforcing this limit on IIS too. But with Tomcat we should be ok..

We have run into that issue ourselves. It's handled the same as if a server had been trying to handle more connections than it was licensed for. This definitely includes IIS clients and SMB shares. I don't know if it also includes microsoft ftp and e-mail connections, but it may (probably does, in fact).
