Is there a kernel or other configuration which determines the maximum
number of TCP/IP connections allowed in a running FreeBSD image or is
this dynamically allocated out of the memory pool?  I am occasionally
seeing a problem with remote sites unable to establish SMTP
connections with my machine, even though it is up and running fine.  I
wonder if I am starved for TCP/IP connections.
