Apache build settings - MaxClients

Does anyone know of a way to confirm the top limit for MaxClients in Apache?
We are using OpenSuse 10.3 and I know how to set the configs in server-tuning.conf … but I don’t know if the default apache rpm supplied by OpenSuse will go over 256 MacClients. Seems thats a compiled in value and the default is 256. I really don’t want to wait for high incoming traffic to find out.:open_mouth:
I can build my own of course but would like to avoid that.
