I don't think we can give a single number, you may hit different limits depending on your hardware and workload. Note that there are max_connections tunables for both nfsd and nlm (/porc/fs/nfsd/max_connections and /sys/module/lockd/parameters/nlm_max_connections) which you may need to adjust (but of course that doesn't solve all problems, it just controls some code that causes the server to drop connections past those limits.) --b.
