I would say "and nginx uses the fds (file descriptors) from the same pool to
connect to the upstream backen" (wiki quote). But that should be 2, not 4: I
agree with you on this.
If any of the gurus out there could shed light on this, I'm sure a lot of us
would appreciate.

> max_clients = worker_processes * worker_connections/4

> Since a browser opens 2 connections by default to a serve...
