I don't think we can give a single number, you may hit different limits
depending on your hardware and workload.

Note that there are max_connections tunables for both nfsd and nlm
(/porc/fs/nfsd/max_connections and
/sys/module/lockd/parameters/nlm_max_connections) which you may need to
adjust (but of course that doesn't solve all problems, it just controls
some code that causes the server to drop connections past those limits.)
