Going to same external service proto:host:port. This is a real
limit for any TCP/IP host. Of course, you can increase this limit, for
example you can set the masq range to 32768..65535. This is not a
LVS/NAT limit but limit in the masq box as a TCP/IP box - you can
create limited number of TCP connections from different local ports
to same remote service. With TCP and UDP this limit is 65536. If you
use your masq box only as masq router you can set these values even to
2048..65535 but you need to alter other values too, there is another
range for the local ports which defaults to 1024..4999.
