You said, "We're working on a server which will provide service to a
large number of mostly idle, low-bandwidth clients".

My intent was that you drop the connection when data is not being passed
meaning that although each connection will still have the large buffers
the number of connections will fluctuate, keeping memory usage at any
one time manageable, rather than keeping a connection to each client
open at all times leading to the problems your having. 

Of course there may be some reason you need an idle connection to a
client at all times but you don't say what purpose this serves.

Hth,
Patrick
