The classic server is not suited to large numbers of concurrent connections,
although I believe there are some HP-UX boxes out there that are achieving this.

What hardware are you planning to implement on? If it is a Linux box with a
single processor I would suggest that you go with the Super Server version,
rather than Classic. If it is multi-processor and has a SCSI 3 raid array you
might find that Classic will be able to support that number of users.

In general it is recommended that you use some kind of middle tier connection
pooling under these circumstances. That is how most developers (for most
databases servers, in fact) support large numbers of concurrent users.
