I worked with Eero on this one, and he did bump this limit a bit, but we
never did get a customer to actually test with > 1250 network servers.
 
The number we (Eero did the work) achieved was 2000 as per SR 5003264051.
 
We initially built patch NSSED13 5.0, but no one would install it, maybe
"13" scared everybody away?
 
So we rolled it into "NSSED20" 5.0 which is now a general release 5.0
patch and also on the power patch.
 
EASY way to test and see if you have this installed is to try and set
the number of servers to a really large number:
 
NSCONTROL server=vtserver,5000,5000
TOTAL MINIMUM SERVERS > MINIMUM PROCESS LIMIT OF 2000.  (DSERR 660)
Invalid control option. (CIERR 5062)             ****
Nscontrol command error. (CIERR 5400)
 
The error message above documents the current limits of servers.
 
Hope this helps....
