What do you mean by "5000 total connections"? 5000 from opened and
closed? 5000 concurrent?<br>
<br>
I'm afraid 5000 concurrent connections may be about as many as
32-bit stunnel can handle on this platform. 64-bit build is on my
TODO list, but it requires my time and money for a new compiler.
This feature is currently not my top priority. Of course, as usual,
a sponsor could change my priorities...<br>

Another option to improve the memory management could be LFH:<br>

I will try to enable it in stunnel 5.00.<br>
<br>
Since 4.53 I have fixed memory management bugs in configuration file
reload and protocol negotiations. You may try to upgrade stunnel if
you use any of these features.<br>
