Hi!

Depending on the version of the ssl application you may also set these
values. I guess you have an older version as they default to 1000.

>From doc:

*"session_cache_client_max = integer() <optional>*

Limits the growth of the clients session cache, that is how many sessions
towards servers that are cached to be used by new client connections. If
the maximum number of sessions is reached, the current cache entries will
be invalidated regardless of their remaining lifetime. Defaults to 1000.
* session_cache_server_max = integer() <optional>*

Limits the growth of the servers session cache, that is how many client
sessions are cached by the server. If the maximum number of sessions is
reached, the current cache entries will be invalidated regardless of their
remaining lifetime. Defaults to 1000."
