Production servers num_sql_socks

[Ben Wiechman]

We set num_sql_socks to 25. We had them set to 10 but ran into issues when
massive numbers of subscribers were attempting to enter the network at once
- for example when we would power cycle a base station with 400 subscribers
on it for maintenance.

I've read a few posts about increasing this value when " There are no DB
handles to use" occur. Not sure if it's a good idea.

Granted your DB is fast enough to query quickly.
Upping this value on a slow DB will severely degrade performance.

What's sort of values are you guys using for production servers?
