I'm not too concerned about the CPU load right now as we can spread
the load among multiple machines but it would then require a load
balancer which has the same limits as below.
I'm not an expert here, but I believe round-robin DNS is often used
for this. That multiplexes the load across several servers, and only
the DNS server (which is UDP-based) needs to handle the full number of
requests.
Can anyone shed a light on what those soft/hard limits in the
current MacOS X Server implementations are and how to change them by
sysctl or by recompilation of kernel or if would be smarter to use
Linux for that?
You can't modify the kernel on OS X. That is, you could check out
Darwin and build a kernel from that, but AFAIK it isn't feasible to
splice such a modified kernel into an OS X installation.
