More open sockets with vimages?

[Ragnar Lonn]

Hi all,

I am a longtime (well, since 2004 or so) vimage user. It's really nice 
to see this great stuff getting into the main branch!

I have a quick question for the list: I want to be able to have a 
machine handle a *lot* of open network connections. Many systems have 
various issues with this, but I thought that if FreeBSD's vimages might 
be able to get around the problem. Is it possible to have more open 
network sockets using multiple vimages, than it is on a FreeBSD without 
vimage? Are sockets still a global resource, or do they get multiplied 
with each vimage?

I apologize if this is a stupid question, I haven't been using 
FreeBSD+vimages in a while (although I hope to change that soon!)

Cheers,
