Hi Hannes,

 

The reason to tune down the allowed connection is to test the change on the appserver live, but only for a limited number of users. If we go fully live with no limit, this change might affect more than ex.10 users (ref. 10 as max connection limit).

    I actually like that ten-guinea-pigs idea :) But for the implementation, what if instead of going with a complex solution, you requested a small VM which has 10 as connection limit on a constant basis? It sounds like new software releases are very regular in your enterprise and causing management overhead. A dedicated initial-release (Guinea Pig) VM might also be worth a consideration. Apart from that option, I'm still suggesting iControlREST API.
