Well, things change, a testlink will tell.

Yes we need to update our linking requirements because of
"geobalancing" (we should also think of a good name for this feature
of ours).  That's because now, all users from a given region will
end up only on the servers for that region.  So, during busy times,
all US users (around 1000 to 1500 these days) are on the few US
servers.  If one of those servers has a problem, the users will
spill onto the others, and the client load can go way over 500.

So while our normal client load during peak times for each server is
something like 300, over 500 clients for short periods of time is
not unusual.  1000 would be a more realistic minimum but I would
actually encourage you to set a higher compiled maximum like 2048
and set the soft limit lower.

lik-m-aid had this problem just 2 days ago and is going to have to
be recompiled/restarted.

By the way, I think your linkapp said you were part of a channel on
Blitzed, yet I can't see you having any channel access.  Is it an
unregistered channel?  Or did you mean you were moving a channel
here?
