 non-pool connection limits when exceeding LDAP connection pool

Hi all,

I actually have a fairly straight forward question:

Assuming that an LDAP connection pool with a size of 20 is configured for use by a MPGW, assuming that the connection pool is full, and the 
reject-pool-limit is set to false.. to what extent will datapower allow to establish a separate connection to fulfill the request?

From our load testing, it seems that requests are intermittently being refused by the DP after hitting a certain load from our test setup, but there is no way to actually gauge this?  but it seems that there is some boundary set as to the extent of connections DP will allow to be issued to the LDAP.

Thanks and regards, Abdel
