There is no limit for the connections from the internal hosts.
Currently, the masquerading allows one internal host to create 40960
TCP connections. But the limit of 4096 connections to one external service
is still valid.
If 10 internal hosts try to connect to one external
service, each internal host can create 4096/10 => ~409 connections.
For UDP the problem is sometimes worse. It depends on
the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_masq_udp_dloose value.
