Subject: 40k+ outbound connections and bind() problem

 I am running server (TCP accelerator), which is initiating more than 
 40K connections.
 Each instance of server bound to separate IP, and each of them handling 
 around 5-10K connections.
 At moments, when i have excessive connect/disconnect events if i try to 
 establish connection even from IP is not used,
 during bind() i am getting errno "Address already in use".
 What can be the issue?
 Will it help if i increase in kernel hardcoded limit from 64K TCP bind 
 hash entries to higher values?
