Agreed that INADDR_ANY will fix the socket count. But what of the interface/alias count? Is 300K ok? How about 3M aliases? I'll spin up an instance and try it out, but I'm a little worried that there might be something non-linear or some threshold limit that won't necessarily be exposed by a modicum of adhoc testing.
