Limit outgoing distribution connections
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
This property allows you to specify the maximum number of distribution servers that can connect. When the limit is reached, subsequent connection requests are refused, and a limit hit event is displayed in the Troubleshooting list.
Note
To optimize server security when adding player connection limits, you should set the value of Limit outgoing distribution connections to be equal to or less than the value of Limit player connections.
Note
It is possible that a distribution server can bypass the outgoing distribution connection limit by identifying itself as a player. Therefore, it is recommended that you limit the number of player connections as well.
