No need to change any software. A simple edit to your inetd.conf will fix
it. The maximum number of connections per second that will be accepted
defaults to 40. You may increase that number. You will notice that there
is a field that has either wait or nowait. You may add a maximum
connection rate to that thusly:
nowait.<number>
So nowait.200 would allow 200 connections per second before complaining.
