   Has anyone determined just how many connections a netatalked host can
   handle (assume only file shares). ?

theoretically, it's probably limited by the max number of processes
that you can have running on your machine and the amount of memory you
have. if you're running under appletalk, however, i think you might be
restricted by the number of ports a ddp address can have (i think it's
254 or something like that). i'm not sure if running multiple copies
of afpd w/ appropriate flags will circumvent that or not.

anyways, i think i'll look into seeing how difficult it will be to
enable the use of an afpd.conf for configuration of multiple
servers. it probably won't be too bad except for the fact that a bunch
of the stuff in afpd assumes that only one value exists for various
configuration options.
