The two-socket recommendation is an RFC2616 advisory, intended to 
encourage a specific behavior pattern based on the size, quantity, 
request pattern and so forth of entities on the Web. It is not 
unreasonable for non-Web-based applications to have more (or fewer) 
simultaneous HTTP transports (persistent and non-), because they're 
never going to experience the conditions and circumstances that the 
two-socket recommendation was intended to address.
