[tor-relays] How to limit number of sockets used?

2013-04-09 Thread Steve Snyder
I am running Tor v0.2.3.25 in a VPS that limits me to a max of 4096 sockets in use. How can I instruct Tor not to attempt to use more than this number? Yes, I know about ConstrainedSockets/ConstrainedSockSize, but the way I read these it limits the amount of memory used, not the socket count.
