    <para>This option allows the number of simultaneous connections to a service to be limited.
    If <parameter moreinfo="none">max connections</parameter> is greater than 0 then connections
    will be refused if this number of connections to the service are already open. A value 
    of zero mean an unlimited number of connections may be made.</para>
