I didn't find a relation to any configurable options, so I made a change to this parameter in the code, recompiled, and, I was able to start up all of my listens without error.
It's fine to change this parameter.
The only reason it's not higher by default is memory usage: Each file descriptor takes 8 bytes of memory for each connection. For FD_MAX=1000 and 500 concurrent connections it makes 4,000,000 bytes.
What is the reasonable value in your opinion?
