[Samba] Exceeding Idle Connections...

[Necos Secon]

I have a machine running 3.0.23c that has been patched to use 700 
connections before running out. However, I'm still having issues with idle 
connections running out. I have roughly 1000 machines on the network that 
need to access this server (it's a printer server for the high school with 
~120 printers shared through CUPS). I'm wondering how I could go about 
solving the idle connection issue. Should I just keep increasing the number 
of idle connections?

I'm running Slackware 10.2 with 2.4.31 kernel. Has anyone been able to 
reproduce this issue? Any help would be appreciated
