talking of limits,

cfservd is using select(2) and on linux glibc have a hard coded limit
of 1024 file descriptors when using select (this even if you can
increase the fd limit dynamicly in the kernel) - the glibc maintainers
treats this as a feature and point to poll(2).

I'm not running cfservd myself on linux and I think solaris handles
more than 1024 fds for select, and probably freebsd too where select
is a wrapper around poll, if I remmeber it correctly.
