For FreeBSD to support that many concurrent connections some kernel values must be tweaked. Namely, you'll need to set "kern.ipc.nmbclusters=81920" in loader.conf as it's a read-only oid. Another route is to add "options NMBCLUSTERS=81920" into your kernel and compile/install (if it's too hig

No, kern.ipc.nmbclusters is read-only. Setting this in /etc/sysctl.conf is futile, it'll never actually be set in the kernel this way, the change will just get a read-only error, just like you would once the machine is booted. As long as I can remember it's been like this. sysctl: oid 'kern.ipc
